The Taube Center for Jewish Life & Learning invites you to an educational workshop and thematic walk, focusing on significant Polish Jewish literary figures who lived, worked, or were connected to Warsaw. Often, great Polish Jewish writers including Tuwim, Leśmian, and Baczyński are not present in Polish nor Jewish consciousness as major literary figures of Jewish background. Similarly, Jewish authors and poets, such as Dinezon, Peretz, and Singer, are frequently not acknowledged in the Polish history of literature as key personalities linked to Poland and its capital, Warsaw. The event will bridge these perspectives by introducing notable individuals within the context of the city, a common ground where Polish and Jewish masterpieces were penned..

The program will combine two expert-led elements, each 1.5 h long:

Educational Workshop: This will take place at the organizer's headquarters, a location in near proximityl to where the Jewish Writers' Union was based for most of the interwar period.

Thematic Walk: Immediately following the workshop, participants will embark on a walk through city spaces associated with the literary figures, institutions, and events.
