From 8th to 13th of October 2022 31 pupils from the Hohenstaufen-Gymnasium Kaiserlautern and the Lyceum Nr. 9 from Leszno met in Krzyżowa for a week of exchange. At the beginning stood integration and language animation games to get to know each other and a tour through Krzyżowa to learn about the history of the place. Since the Ukrainian school from Odessa unfortunately was not able to come, a joint video conference was part of the program to get an insight into the current situation in Odessa.

The Taube Department of Jewish Studies at University of Wrocław and the Krzyżowa Foundation for Mutual Understanding in Europe are organising a conference on 26 October 2022: "Reading Benno Jacob in the Taube Chair of Jewish Studies".

Rabbi Benno Jacob (1862-1945) was born in Wrocław, where he studied at the Jewish Theological Seminary and the University of Wrocław. Jacob was a social activist who fought against anti-Semitism.


The reading of Benno Jacob will begin with a general question: how to situate his work on the contemporary map of thought and with particular reference to his commentary on the Akedah.
The intention of organising a conference devoted to Benno Jacob is to initiate a discussion both on his achievements and, more broadly, on the achievements of the intellectual milieu of Jews associated with Wrocław before 1939.

On behalf of the Foundation, Edward Skubisz, M.A., will take part in the conference.

 

From September 22th to 25th 2022 the Kreisau-journey of the Diakonissenanstalt Dresden e.V. took place. 23 participants between 37 and over 80 years came to Krzyżowa to learn about the history of Kreisau and to deal with the German-Polish history and - in workshops - with the topics of resistance and reconciliation. 


In Krzyżowa, more than 100 participants of the Robert Bosch Foundation Alumni Forum tackled this topic on the second weekend of October. The Robert Bosch Foundation has been supporting international knowledge and the development of civil society in Eastern Europe for decades, through various educational programmes and promoting international meetings and exchanges. The alumni network gave rise to the MitOst association, which co-organised the weekend. It was no coincidence that the meeting took place in Krzyżowa. Particularly in the 2000s, many seminars took place here and some of the staff and board members of the Krzyżowa Foundation are alumni of the Bosch Foundation's programmes and members of MitOst. For many participants it was a reunion with Krzyżowa.
