Czarne in Galicia: “Kamienie musiały polecieć” (PL)
23.06.2024 - 17:00 / Galicia Jewish Museum, ul. Dajwór 18The experiences of minorities often do not fit into the official historic narrative. The Belarussian-Eastern Orthodox community of northeastern Poland is rarely mentioned: its refugee experience, post-war forced resettlements, murder, and especially ethnic and religious conflicts.
Aneta Prymata-Oniszk breaks this silence. She goes to the villages in the Podlasie region, talks to their inhabitants and historians, reads archival documents, and uses the knowledge she acquires to confront myths about Polish-Belarussian relations. She shows what shaped the Eastern Orthodox minority in the area of Białystok, Bielsk Podlaski, Hajnówka, Siemiatycze and Sokółka. All of her work is dedicated to understanding what happened here 80 years ago and what these events mean today.
This event is part of the project “20 for 20. A Series of Meetings with 20 Authors for the Galicia Jewish Museum’s 20th Anniversary”. The project was financed by the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage of the Republic of Poland from the Fund for Promoting Culture.
