Coexistence, Cooperation, Violence
International Conference in association with
Institute for
Polish Jewish Studies, Oxford,

Embassy of the Republic of Lithuania
The history of
Lithuanian-Jewish communities has been marked not only by a
continuity of religious tradition, but also by cultural dynamism.
This conference offers insights into Lithuanian-Jewish culture,
seeks to throw light on the complex history of Lithuanian-Jewish
relations, including their cruel and traumatic disintegration during
World War Two, and attempts to assess the contemporary situation in
a European context.

Jews in Polish Society: Insiders, Outsiders, all-day international seminar exploring the status and social
identity of
Jews in Poland past and present. Pre-registration essential.
Cultural boundaries–political, social, and religious–have been a
key feature of life in Poland since medieval times. By focusing on
the ways in which these boundaries were respected, crossed, or
otherwise negotiated, this conference throws new light on the
contacts between Jews and Christians in Poland over the centuries.
The line-up of speakers has been selected so as to focus on the idea
of Jews as both insiders and insiders in Poland from a variety of
perspectives, including the situation in presentday Poland
Thursday, 10 December, 9.00 am - 6.00 pm

2008
This year CONFERENCE marked the
twentieth anniversary of March 1968: Forty Years On: The March 1968'
Anti-Zionist' Campaign and its significance for Polish-Jewish
relations." It marked the publication of volume 21 of POLIN, which
is on the theme "1968: Forty Years After".
In the mid-1960s, public opinion in
Poland turned against the Gomulka regime for a variety of reasons.
In an attempt to regain public support and divert attention from the
real problems, Gomulka adopted an antisemitic stance. On 19 March
1968 he delivered a speech to party activists in which he divided
Jews into three categories: ‘patriotic Jews’, ‘Zionists’, and those
who were neither Jews nor Poles but ‘cosmopolitans’ who should
‘avoid those fields of work where the affirmation of nationality is
indispensable’. In consequence, nearly 15,000 Jews–a very large part
of Poland’s Jewish community-left for Israel, western Europe, and
North America, effectively ending Jewish life in the country for
over a decade. The events of 1968 were long ignored by scholars but
in recent years their importance in the process which led to the
collapse of communism has become increasingly evident. This
conference illuminates the events that triggered the crisis, the
crisis itself, and its consequences.
Among speaker this year were Adam
Michnik, Antony Polonsky, Anna Frajlich-Zajac, Leszek Gluchowski,
Jaff Schatz, Leopold Sobel, Eugeniusz Smolar, Lena Stanley-Clamp,
Dariusz Stola and Bella Szwarcman-Czarnota.
