About :
Rachela Halpern, who was born in post-war Szczecin and raised in a religious Jewish family, talks about her experience growing up in Poland and the difficulties of adaptation and exclusion she experienced as a child. In 1968, as a result of an anti-Semitic campaign, she emigrated with her entire family to the United States. Despite her religious upbringing, after arriving in the United States, her sense of Jewish identity evolved, and she felt greater freedom and acceptance. Her first visit to Poland in 2007 to the Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow allowed her to see changes in the country and a greater openness to intercultural dialogue. Return visits and participation in other Jewish events, such as the Singer Warsaw Festival, make her realize that today's Poland is much more open to Jewish heritage. Rachela Halpern points to the need to acknowledge and work through difficult elements of Poland's shared history, such as Jedwabne, and the importance of maintaining dialogue in order to build better relations between communities. It also highlights Poland's positive example of helping refugees from Ukraine as proof of the possibility of changing social attitudes even after difficult historical experiences.
