JRI Poland #Poland Warsaw KehilaLink #poland
I am pleased to advise I have taken on the important project of creating
and running the Warsaw KehilaLink. It is quite surprising that there has been no KehilaLink for Warsaw, once the largest Jewish city in Europe and the second largest in the world after New York. JewishGen KehilaLinks (formerly "ShtetLinks") is a project facilitating web pages commemorating the places where Jews have lived. Kehila [Hebrew] n. (pl. kehilot): is used to refer to a Jewish community, anywhere in the world. KehilaLinks are hosted by JewishGen, the world's largest Jewish genealogical organisation. It has a user base of over 500,000 registered users worldwide. I invite you to send in your stories, memories, photos and family biographies. If you are attending the IAJGS conference in Warsaw, and would like to learn more about this or my other 84 KehilaLinks, please come to my presentation: Back >from the Polish and Litvak Diaspora: Virtual Journeys That Connect Us To Our Roots, on Thursday 9 August 4-5pm. I am also presenting on the Partisans' Song (Project), often associated with the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, on Tuesday 7 August 4-5pm.
