We would like to invite you to a meeting with Yaron Karol Becker, a Jewish writer of Polish origins whose fate has been connected remarkably with the history of three countries: the Soviet Union, Poland, and Israel. In his books, the author describes with lots of humor how historical events made a mark on his life and choices.

Yaron Karol Becker was born on February 7th, 1941, in Aldan near Yakutsk, Siberia. As a repatriate, he came to Poland in June 1947, where he lived for 11 years. For 65 years, Yaron has been a citizen of Israel. This is where he graduated from philosophy and where he also studied Jewish and Russian history as well as Soviet Studies. He was a journalist, teacher, academic lecturer at the Tel Aviv University and the Seminar HaKibutzim College in Tel Aviv, and a translator. He has been an active participant of the Polish-Jewish dialogue. In 2001-2007 he was the first coordinator of educational programs of the Polish Institute in Tel Aviv.

In Polish. Free admission.
