Yes, there are Jews in Poland in the 21^st Century.

But why? And how?

Come to Loew Auditorium this Thursday, May 29, at 7pm for the premiere screening of

Paradisus: The Thousandth Year

A feature documentary directed by Rena Sapon-White '14

About the film

Paradisus explores an unlikely phenomenon: the revival of Jewish life in Poland in the 21^st Century.

Small but vibrant communities of Polish Jews have formed in the past decade, emerging in a country condemned during WWII and Communism to forever be a cemetery for Jews.

The film endeavors to answer the question: Why be Jewish in Poland today? And what does it mean to rebuild a community on the site of a genocide?

There will be a reception at 6pm in the BFVAC atrium.

A Q&A will follow the screening.
