Photographer’s Note

How to describe in few worlds how complexed the subject of Polish-Jewish co-habiatnce, love and prejudice is??
Long story, tragic one.. with 2WW we lost so many Jewish people around.. now, as I do, some Polish people desperately search and try to preserve Jewish remainings which still exist.. rare one..

Hassids pilgrimage to Poland intrigues Poles who come to watch them often with mixed feelings. Hopefully there is a lot of sorrow in them..

One of such a on-lookers, seeing me in Hassid crowd in Lelow, bond but wearing black long dress and hat, asked : "Jude?" (In German: Jewish??)

I didn't say anything concentrated on finding out his intentions.. the question wasn't polite. In fact I wasn't Jewish, but knew there was no a simple and proper answer I could give.
