Żydowskie wojaże: osobowości, teksty, świadectwa. O XIII Konferencji z cyklu „Żydzi wschodniej Polski”

Abstract

The text is an introduction to the 13th volume of the monograph from the thematic series “Jews of Eastern Poland”. This volume is devoted to Jewish travel writing, Jewish travelers from Central and Eastern Europe. The co-organizer of the Conference was the Białystok Museum of the Memory of Siberia, honored with the Museum Award of the Council of Europe in 2024. As the author emphasizes, the conference particularly highlighted two aspects of Jewish travels: historical and political (often the journeys of refugees, exiles) and artistic (Jewish journeys of musicians, painters and writers). The subject of the conference has not been exhausted and requires continuation. The scientific project involved 27 researchers from Poland, Great Britain, Taiwan and Germany.
