We are all aware of the massacres of Jews and Poles carried out by Nazi Germany on Polish soil; we know that some Poles were complicit in these crimes. We also witnessed Poland's Communist governments use anti-Semitism whenever they wished to deflect their own miserable failings.

But to see the years since Communism's collapse solely through the prism of anti-Semitism and the Holocaust is to sadly miss the point. Something remarkable is going on in Poland today, and the Jewish Heritage Initiative is helping nurture it.
