2. Greetings from the Galicia Jewish Museum
4. Photo Competition award ceremony
5. Religious Heritage Innovator of the Year award ceremony
6. Musical performance by Di Galitzyaner Klezmorim
Welcome to Krakow!
On behalf of the Council of Future for Religious Heritage, I would like to welcome you to the 2024 Conference, titled ‘Religious Heritage in Transition: Challenges and Solutions’.
In today’s rapidly evolving landscape, professionals, civil society and authorities working to protect historic places of worship and their contents face unprecedented digital, social and environmental changes. It is crucial that we are all prepared to respond quickly and effectively to the challenges these changes pose to the management, conservation, promotion and visitor experience of these sites.
Our 2024 conference provides a timely forum to explore the most urgent of these transformations, from the transition to an ecologically sustainable management of buildings, harnessing the potential of digital tools and the digital environment, to reconsidering how these places and their assets can impact on our quality of life and well-being. By bringing together innovative approaches and existing solutions, we aim to unlock the potential of the religious heritage sector to navigate these various transformations while preserving its authenticity, integrity and cultural value for generations to come.
The conference will also provide an opportunity to celebrate innovation, and creativity through the award ceremonies of our Religious Heritage Innovator of the Year and the FRH Photo Competition, as well as to share work in progress and the latest developments in the network.
We are honoured to host such an important event at the Galicia Jewish Museum, a testament to the preservation and celebration of Jewish culture and traditions at the heart of Krakow’s Kazimierz quarter. This leading institution created to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust in Poland will take visitors on a journey through 800 years of Jewish presence in the historic region of Galicia (today situated between south-eastern Poland and western Ukraine) inviting them to break down stereotypes and misconceptions.
We look forward to the rich discussions, insightful presentations, and collaborative spirit that has defined our network for over a decade.
Together, we can shape a brighter future for our religious heritage!
Pilar G. Bahamonde
President of FRH
Welcome words by the Galicia Jewish Museum
On behalf of the Galicia Jewish Museum I would like to welcome all the participants to the conference on the European Sustainable Religious Heritage. The Galicia Jewish Museum is a unique institution created to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust, to celebrate the richness of Jewish history and culture, and to take part in the revival of Jewish life in present-day Poland. The aim of the Museum is to challenge stereotypes and misconceptions, typically associated with the Jewish past in Poland, to educate about the common Polish-Jewish heritage as well as to work for dialogue and cultural exchange between various communities of Poland and Europe. As an independent NGO, we are actively engaged in civic initiatives that try to promote values of a free and democratic society.
Therefore we also would like to contribute to the conference and looking at our basic mission the preservation of European religious heritage is hugely important for us. The material and non-material heritage of the pre-Holocaust Polish Jewry is an essential, integral part of our common destiny and identity of Europe. The Holocaust and the extreme and murderous racial ideology of Nazism planned to erase the Jewish component, based so much on religion, from the map of Europe. It is thus a mandatory obligation to look at the experience of the Holocaust as a warning that any hatred towards any kind of religious heritage on our continent might bring a repeat of past catastrophes.
We are living in a time of a flashing warning that hatred, exclusion, racism, intolerance have come back to contemporary life. By taking care of the religious heritage of Europe we contribute a lot to the betterment of our societies, showing European culture as vibrant, multicultural and multidimensional energetic creation.
I wish all the best to all of you.
Jacek Stawiski
Director of the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków

Musical performance by Di Galitzyaner Klezmorim
Our conference dinner will be preceded by a musical performance by Di Galitzyaner Klezmorim, a local band from Krakow dedicated to the Klezmer tradition. This musical genre originated among the Ashkenazi Jews of Central and Eastern Europe in the late Middle Ages and is often performed at important celebrations, such as weddings and religious commemorations.
The band is composed of three talented and experienced musicians: Mariola Spiewak (clarinet), Grzegorz Spiewak (accordion) and Rafal Seweryniak (double bass). Together they have been active for more than 25 years, sharing their passion for klezmer music with audiences in Europe and around the world.
Klezmorim’s music is characterized by its blend of traditional Klezmer melodies and their own compositions. They skillfully combine the care for sound and detail with great musical sensitivity, giving their compositions an aesthetically pleasing shape.
Throughout its career, the group has won prestigious awards, including the European Music Prize awarded by the Society for Culture Promotion by the European Economic Circles and the Foundation of the European Prizes (Basle, Old University Hall, December 1998) and the first prize at the Chopin Open Competition for All Instruments Except for the Piano (Cracow, Academy of Drama and Theatre, June 1999).
Prepare to be mesmerised and enthralled as Klezmorim takes you to experience the spirit and essence of the klezmer tradition!
