During the 5th installment of your favorite webinar, #TJHTalks, Professor Antony Polonsky shared his take on the roots and consequences of antisemitism in the Russian Empire. It is important to note that, in the XIX century, Polish territories were included in the Empire, and Polish Jews were subjected to the same treatment they received within Russia itself. This led to widespread immigration and the development of nationalist and socialist movements.

Even though most Ashkenazi Jews around the world can trace their roots back to Poland, the 1,000-year history of Jews in Poland is still not widely known. Instead, it is often mythologized or demonized, unfortunately losing its enormous contributions to Poland and impact on world Jewry in the process. The 5th edition of #TJHTalks, â€œWhy Polish-Jewish History Mattersâ€, with Professors Antony Polonsky and Marcin Wodzinski, focused on the importance and relevance of Polish Jewish history, and its legacy for Jews around the world.
