The recent clip by Kutiman - Thru Krakow - made during 22nd Jewish Culture Festival premiered on YouTube on March 11th and within one week was played more than 25,000 times. Many media wrote about the clip, it was also posted on many blogs worldwide - let's have a look at the short summary!

David Grossman, Special to The CJN, Friday, March 30, 2012: Janusz Makuch admits he didn’t know what to expect prior to speaking with two distinctly different Toronto Jewish audiences – and the personal discussions that would follow – on his first and only trip to Canada.

There are signs that Poles are discovering their lost Jewish heritage and that antisemitism is in decline.

I grew up in a milieu where, to say the least, Poland was not everyone's favorite country. In fact, I had the impression that it was radioactive, beyond the pale. Poland, I heard again and again, had been a cauldron of widespread anti-Semitism. Those Jews who had managed to escape had no desire ever to return. And their memories were replete with horrific tales of discrimination and persecution. In other words, Poland may perforce have been an integral part of the Jewish past, but it had no place in the Jewish future.

There is a curious thing happening in this old country, scarred by Nazi death camps, raked by pogroms and blanketed by numbing Soviet sterility: Jewish culture is beginning to flourish again. “Jewish style” restaurants are serving up platters of pirogis, klezmer bands are playing plaintive Oriental melodies, derelict synagogues are gradually being restored. Every June, a festival of Jewish culture here draws thousands of people to sing Jewish songs and dance Jewish dances. The only thing missing, really, are Jews.
