80 Years Later:
JCC Krakow's Response to the War in Ukraine
In 80 Years Later: JCC Krakow’s Response to the War in Ukraine, photographer Chuck Fishman captures the stories of people, Ukrainian refugees, in need and the Jewish community of Krakow opening its arms to embrace them. Within the pages of this book, one will find a memorial to the first six months of the refugee crisis, with photos both in Krakow and at the Polish-Ukraine border.
