Abstracts

The author describes his collaboration with the Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Nauk (Society for the Friends of Learning) in Przemyśl and with different people and institutions in Przemyśl in the past twenty years. He explains the reasons for his visits to Poland from the USA, the problems he encountered trying to rescue Jewish heritage of the region but also the successes in this field – both ona local scale and in a broader context. He attempts to show Przemyśl and its inhabitants through the eyes of an observer from the outside and how this view has changed through time.
