Sebastian Rejak, Special Envoy of the Minister of Foreign Affairs for Relations with the Jewish Diaspora, will be visiting the San Francisco on May 4-5. At the Commonwealth Club of California, he will deliver a noontime lecture, entitled: "How Europe’s Challenged Stability Affects Its Minorities: A Polish Perspective." He will give an overview of the issues facing Ukraine (east of Poland) and the terrorist challenges in France, Belgium and the United Kingdom (west of Poland), as well as discuss how terrorism affects multicultural dynamics and immigrant communities in Europe and specifically in Poland. He will also speak about the issue of recent Jewish emigration from Europe as linked to the ubiquitous feeling that Europe is no longer safe for Jews.
Mr. Rejak will also attend the Polish Flag Raising at San Francisco City Hall the morning of May 4, meet with Polish Honorary Consuls Tad Taube and Christopher Kerosky, the San Francisco-Krakow Sister Cities Association, and members of the Polish- and Jewish-American communities.
