Under the same sky, history takes place, our present lasts and the future unfolds. The people whose paths we follow today are written in the stars. In them is all the past, present and future. This is what motivates our efforts. We strive to restore Memory – of Poles and Jews who, like field stones, have contributed to the avalanche of historical events; of their achievements in the history of world science, technology or culture, which have now been forgotten; and of the common, difficult history of “two nations nourished by centuries of suffering “*.
Our past inspires us to act for the future. Hence, we engage in economic development debates, establish scientific and educational cooperation with partners from all over the world, and initiate projects on new technologies. Just as Abraham Stern’s inventions and ideas influenced others in the past, so today, the Foundation bearing his name, with a look to the legacy he left behind, cares for it and passes it on to future generations.
Our Projects
Polish Jews Who Changed the World.
As part of the cooperation between the Abraham Stern Foundation and the Orlen Foundation we created a series of educational animations about Polish Jews who changed the world. The animations have been published in Polish, English and Hebrew.
How Polish intelligence helped win the secret war with Hitler.
We made a spot telling the story of the unique contribution of Polish wartime intelligence to the victory over Hitler.
Was the 'Central Industrial District' the Polish New Deal?
A debate organized by the Abraham Jacob Stern Foundation, the Warsaw American Center and the Warsaw School of Economics.
The Golem was born here. Cooperation with the city of Chełm.
Since the story of the origin of the legend of the Golem is wrongly associated with other cities, the Abraham Jacob Stern Foundation, together with the City of Chełm, undertook actions to commemorate the figure by building a hologram and carrying out extensive promotional activities.
