Difficult Questions in Polish-Jewish Dialogue
The book Difficult
Questions in Polish-Jewish Dialogue is a collaborative project of the
Forum for Dialogue Among Nations Foundation and the American Jewish
Committee.
The Difficult Questions project began with an analysis of more than a
thousand questionnaires gathered in Poland, the United States, Israel,
Canada, and Australia. In them, young Poles and Jews exchanged the
questions that seemed to them most pressing, difficult. A group of
sociologists together with the editors of this book, compiled a list of
the fifty-one most important and representative questions posed by
these young people. They were answered by some of the most distinguished
experts in the areas of history, sociology, Polish-Jewish relations,
and religion.
