For the last two years, starting as a Mary Elvira Stevens Traveling Fellow from Wellesley College, I have been working–in cooperation with Brama Grodzka-Teatr NN—on an online video archive of conversations with non-Jewish Poles who are rescuing Jewish memory in Poland. This has involved traveling within Poland to conduct interviews, and coordinating editing, transcribing, translation subtitling and website creation. I am so thrilled and excited that the website of The Neshoma Project is now live. As I write this, we are in the middle of a contentious presidential election. There are deep divides among people in our country and around the world. The people with whom I spoke for The Neshoma Project: Conversations with Poles Rescuing Jewish Memory give me hope that we can heal some of these rifts and build together to a future with less division and misunderstanding. I invite you to take a look at the amazing non-Jews that populate the Neshoma Project archive. I hope they will inspire hope in you as well. Keep on the lookout for more interviews to be added soon.
