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.
