| Notes: | In Rediscovering Traces of Memory, Jonathan Webber , with the help of Chris Schwarz’
arresting colour photographs of present-day Polish Galicia, has captured the traces of memory that remain of eight hundred years of Jewish life. The book"s last image is that of
the thriving Jewish Culture Festival in Krakow.
Here, Professor Webber talks to its founder, Janusz Makuch. The Festival drew an estimated 40 000 people in 2009, Jews and non-Jews, Poles and international visitors alike.
They discuss Jewish culture in today’s Poland, with Kate Craddy and ask whether we witness a genuine Jewish revival or the creation of a virtual world.
