They find out in the fourth generation about their Jewish ancestors. The people uncover their Jewish identity and roots through religion as well as cultural means.

The Minister of Polish Foreign Affairs of Poland, Prof. Wladyslaw Bartoszewski was willing to give his name as honorary sponsor for the event.
