Our organisation is unique in Australia in that it is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the historical and cultural heritage of Jewish life in Poland and to supporting Poland’s Jewish community. We are also committed to building bridges of understanding between Australia’s Jewish and Polish communities.

Our membership includes Holocaust survivors from Poland, together with Second and Third Generation, many of whom also speak Polish and Yiddish. Also, our associate membership comprises numerous non-Jewish people of Polish background who share our organisation’s aims and objectives.

Many of our members also have an academic background and have, in the past, delivered formal lectures on numerous relevant topics. They have also chaired and/or participated in seminars and symposiums.

The ASPJ is pleased to be able to offer many of our members as Speakers for your organisation’s or company’s activity or function. Among the topics upon which we can provide Speakers are:

• The Holocaust – from a Survivor Perspective
• The Jewish Community of Poland
• Polish-Jewish Relations in Today’s Poland
• Polish-Jewish Relations in Today’s Australia
• Australia as a Haven for Polish Holocaust Survivors
• The Polish Righteous – Saving Jews From the Holocaust

While there is officially no charge for the provision of a Speaker for your event or function, the ASPJ would greatly appreciate a donation towards supporting our activities.
