Thank Yous

Wellesley College

In 2018 Leora Tec received a Mary Elvira Stevens Traveling Fellowship from Wellesley, which enabled her to launch the Neshoma Project. Without Wellesley’s support and encouragement, this project would never have seen the light of day.

The U.S. Embassy in Warsaw

In 2019-2020 Leora Tec received a grant from the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw for Phase II of the Neshoma Project. She and Brama Grodzka are very grateful for the support.

Appreciation

Creating this website has been a labor of love. There is much involved in the process: setting up and carrying out the interviews; recording the conversations; video editing; transcribing and translating the material; editing the website text; building and testing the website; fixing errors and telling the world about the project.
