3University of WrocławIt is our great pleasure to welcome all delegates and participants of the 6th annual conference of the EAIS titled ‘Israeli Identities: Past, Present and Future’. We are so proud to host you all at the University of Wroclaw we aim to create the optimal atmosphere and circumstance for the intellectual exchange of thoughts, which is so much connected with the process of searching of the truth.
The University of Wrocław with its rich history of more than three centuries of academic tradition is one of the oldest universities in Central Europe. Founded by Leopold I Habsburg it has evolved from a modest school run by Jesuits into one of the biggest academic institutions in Poland. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the University of Wrocław produced nine Nobel Prize winners, such as Theodor Mommsen, Philipp Lenard, Eduard Buchner, Paul Ehrlich, Fritz Haber, Friedrich Bergius, Erwin Schrödinger, Otto Stern and Max Born. It is worth mentioning that the famous philosopher Edit Stein also graduated from our university. After the Second World War a group of Polish professors, formerly from Lvov, started teaching and research activities at the University of Wrocław. Today the University of Wrocław is the largest university in the Lower Silesia region and teaches over 40,000 students and around 1300 doctoral students at 10 Faculties.
On behalf of the Chair of European Studies which has the privilege to be a co-organisers of the conference, I would like to thank the Dean of the Faculty Social Sciences who has welcomed the idea of the conference with great enthusiasm. I would like to express also my deepest gratitude to our colleagues from the Institute of Political Science and the Institute of International Relations for their help and support. We are also very thankful to the Lowers Silesia voivodship self-government, the Regional Centre for International Debate in Wrocław and IZROPA Institute who’s support and involvement made this project real.
Finally let me wish you all successful, and productive conference, inspiring meetings and unforgettable experiences.
Dr hab Piotr Grabowiec Head of the Chair of European Studies University of Wrocław
Welcome to the 6th Annual Conference of the European Association for Israel Studies. I am delighted to be greeting such a large gathering of scholars and eminent keynote speakers to our first ever conference in Poland. Each of our conferences reflects a widening and deepening of Israel Studies scholarship in Europe so that we now see in our conference literature a tremendous breadth of scholarship with multiple simultaneous panels with valuable contributions from Polish scholars. We have again reached out to academics working in the field of Israeli culture, particularly literature and film and I am pleased to see so many fascinating panels.
The European Association of Israel Studies exists to support the academic study of Israel in Europe. As such, we guard our academic integrity and our non-partisan positioning. That said, the conference creates a safe and interested space for scholarly exchange of views right across the discipline. While other European conferences may include Israel Studies on their margins, we embrace the discipline.
We are grateful to the University of Wroclaw for generously hosting the conference. Special thanks go to the Pears Foundation and the Israel Institute for their generous continuing support and encouragement, and to our local partners: the Marshal Office of Lower Silesia Voivodeship, IZROPA Institute and the Regional Centre for International Debate in Wrocław.
Once again, on behalf of the European Association for Israel Studies I welcome you to the conference and wish you a stimulating and productive conference.

From Poland We Came...The contribution of Polish Jewry in building and developing the State of Israel
This exhibition is the result of the ongoing collaboration between the Pedagogical University of Cracow and the Jagiellonian University, Poland and Beit Berl College, Israel.The exhibition provides a unique opportunity to reveal and to demonstrate the role and the contribution of Polish Jews to Israeli society and culture.
Jews have lived in Poland for many centuries, establishing significant cultural centres of Jewish life and heritage. They also have played an important role in Polish culture, in science, in the economy and in several other aspects of life. Since the mid-19th century, Polish Jews started to immigrate to Eretz Israel and in the 20th century, these waves of Jewish emigration from Poland were particularly significant especially after the Holocaust and after the establishment of the State Israel (1948). In their new homeland, Polish Jews made major contributions in building and developing the State and influencing all aspects of political life, military development, and cultural and economic advances.
The panels of this exhibition are dedicated to the most important milestones in the process of Polish Jewry immigration to Israel providing both a historical overview and many personal stories illustrating the fate and fortune of individuals during this dramatic period of Jewish and Polish history.

Enhancing Knowledge and Study of Modern Israel
Israelinstitute.org/programs/academic
The Israel Institute is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization. We do not participate in
advocacy efforts but, rather, aspire to advance exemplary teaching, scholarship, and research about modern
Israel through a range of programs. We are not a university, research institute, or think tank but frequently
work with such institutions in our efforts to enhance the study of Israel.
