Video link to this conversation: https://youtu.be/1zQ1rSDUUVEA Balcony in Kazimierz: A Candid Conversation on Jews, Poland, and Post-Holocaust MemoryIn this deeply personal and thought-provoking episode, I sit with Naomi Seidman on the balcony of our apartment rental in Kazimierz—the historic Jewish district of Kraków, Poland—for an unscripted conversation about Jewish memory, return, and identity.Together, we reflect on what it means for Jews to come back to Poland after the Holocaust. Are we tourists or pilgrims? Survivors by inheritance or outsiders looking in? How do we process the tension between grief, history, and belonging? What responsibilities—if any—come with being second- or third-generation descendants of Holocaust survivors?Some of the most moving moments of this video were actually recorded off-camera with a hot mic—raw, vulnerable, and unfiltered. We decided to share them because they speak to the kind of honest, searching conversations I believe matter most.🎥 Edited by Lee Kupak📸 Videography by Michał Sosna: https://www.instagram.com/michalsosna/📚 **Books by Naomi Seidman:**• *The Bais Yaakov Project: A History of the Bais Yaakov Movement for Girls*https://amzn.to/3UpygGG• *Freud’s Jewish Question: Lust, Hate, and the Jewish Politics of Psychoanalysis*https://amzn.to/3TV0GYV• *Faithful Renderings: Jewish–Christian Difference and the Politics of Translation*https://amzn.to/40Bak6J🎬 Link to my other video with Naomi: On Naomi's life story | https://youtu.be/aAHE9YNnxf8A Heretic in the House | https://youtu.be/TrEQ_PMnVFQ🙏 Special thanks to the University of Toronto for helping cover part of the costs of producing this video.🔗 Stay connected:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/friedavizelTwitter (X): https://www.twitter.com/friedavizelTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@friedavizelWebsite: https://www.friedavizel.com💛 Huge thanks to my channel membersYour support makes these conversations possible.
