Marek Rekucki, vice president of our Foundation, nominated for the “Protecting Memory” award

There are nice moments in our work on memory and dialogue. These include moments of appreciation of our efforts. This time the commitment of the co-founder and vice-president of our Shtetl Mszana Dolna Foundation, Marek Rekucki, who was nominated for the “Protecting Memory” award, was recognized

“Dear Sir,
On behalf of the Galicia Jewish Museum and the Jewish Community Center in Krakow, I am pleased to inform you that you have been nominated for this year's Chroniąc Pamięć award. Congratulations.
The award ceremony will take place on Sunday, June 23 at 12:00 pm at the Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow, 18 Dajwór Street.
(......)
Once again, we congratulate you and thank you for your work and commitment so far.
Sincerely,
Agnieszka Kocur-Smoleń
Chief Programming Officer”

It's also a good opportunity at this point to highlight the merits of Mark, who has brought a new quality to our work, specializing in dealing with institutions and obtaining grants, which has allowed us to start, among other things, cemetery restoration, educational projects or permanent commemorations - he searches for opportunities, writes proposals, obtains funds with great dedication, and then laboriously accounts for them, which anyone who has ever done it will appreciate. It is really hard to overestimate his merits in these important activities!

This is the second person from our ranks with the “Protecting Memory” award for saving Jewish heritage in Poland. In 2021, this award went to Urszula Antosz-Rekucka
