:: Building Bridges: A Dialogue Between Polish and Jewish Teens

Building Bridges was a weekend retreat that brought together Polish and Jewish teens on December 2-3rd, 2000. General sessions included a talk by Rabbi Herman Schaalman and Father John Cusick; a trust-building challenge course; a workshop by Chuck Meyers (Facing History and Ourselves); an interactive program by Imagination Theatre about stereotypes an prejudice; and a moving talk by Lisa and Aaron Derman about being rescued during the Holocaust by non-Jewish Poles. Each of these sessions was followed by small groups that helped kids talk further about these sessions.
