JGSGB Chilterns RG - Dec 8th 2020 7.30pm – with Leigh Dworkin – “Polish Ancestral Tourism, Part 2: Busting a Gut in Warsaw, Lodz & Lomza”

Our next meeting in the JGSGB Virtual Meeting Programme is a meeting from the JGSGB Chilterns Regional Group (RG) by Zoom.

Here is the information for this meeting:

Date: Tuesday Dec 8th 2020
Time: 19:30 London (note, 14:30 New York, 11:30 San Francisco, 21:30 Jerusalem)
Title: “Polish Ancestral Tourism, Part 2: Busting a Gut in Warsaw, Łódź & Łomża”
Speaker: Leigh Dworkin
Description: This talk details Ancestral Tourism in Warsaw, Łódź and Łomża (pronounced “Wutch” and “Womja”).

It describes the speaker’s second trip to Poland at the time of the IAJGS (International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies) Conference in Warsaw back in 2018. This time the trip was meticulously planned with a gaggle of cemeteries, memorials and ancestral towns/villages explored, not forgetting the occasional archive, synagogue and museum too.

Had everything gone exactly to plan it would have been boring … Learn how to ignore medical emergencies whilst extending your family history back in time.

After the talk, there will be an opportunity for Q&A and discussion on the talk.
