During a ceremony held at the Presidential Palace, Andrzej Dera, Secretary of State in the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, presented members of the TSKŻ with national honours awarded by Andrzej Duda, President of the Republic of Poland.

For his outstanding services in support of the Jewish community in Poland, the high distinction of the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta was awarded to Artur Hofman, President of the TSKŻ.

The Silver Cross of Merit was awarded to the chairpersons of the Katowice, Krakow, Częstochowa and Wrocław branches: Helena Grzebień, Klaudia Klimek, Izabela Sobańska-Klekowska and Aleksander Rotsztejn for their services in support of the Jewish community in Poland.

This event has been of particular importance to us due to the fact that the current year marks the 75^th anniversary of the TSKŻ.
