He also serves on the boards of the Krakow branch of the Child Survivors of the Holocaust organization, Hillel Poland, JCC Global, and the Abraham Global Peace Initiative.

He is a survivor of Plaszow, Julag, Mauthausen, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and Dachau concentration camps, and now tells his story as an educator and filmmaker. It took Bernard many years to return to Krakow after the war and confront his demons. The Krakow Jewish community is honored that he now chooses to spend so much time with us as an active JCC Krakow member.About JCC KrakowEstablished and opened by His Majesty King Charles in 2008, JCC Krakow now boasts 1,100 Jewish members including 58 Holocaust survivors, and is the beating heart of Krakow’s growing, vibrant Jewish community. Our bright, colorful center with over 60 full time staff and a volunteer team numbering close to 150, welcomes local Jews and non-Jews with innovative, inclusive programming 7 days a week and hosts 100,000+ visitors a year. In 2023, we continued to rebuild Jewish life in Krakow with weekly Shabbat dinners, celebration of Jewish holidays and dedicated programming for the entire range of our community from preschool kids to Holocaust Survivors. Our reborn Jewish community, always mindful of the Jewish idea of “Tikkun Olam” or repairing the world, continued to support Ukraine by directly feeding, housing and providing psychosocial support to approximately 400,000 Ukrainian refugees, 98% of whom were not Jewish. On October 7, after the brutal Hamas led attack, we opened an “Israeli Safe Space” in our center and welcomed and helped dozens of Israeli families seeking support. Hosted on Acast.
