The initiative, launched by the Polish Institute in Tel Aviv, includes multimedia content about Polish-Jewish relations and efforts by Poles to help Jews during World War II.

The campaign also aims to promote Poland in Israel and help strengthen bilateral relations.

It features a series of videos posted in Hebrew at walla.co.il, Israel’s largest news website, and focusing on aspects such as shared heritage and two-way economic ties.

There is also a video about famous Polish women.

Several other topics are due to be explored later this month.

As part of the project, an exhibition entitled My Jewish Parents, My Polish Parents went on show on Thursday at the Kiryat Motzkin Library near Haifa in northern Israel.

The exhibition tells the story of 15 Jewish children who were saved from the Holocaust by Polish families.
