In Memory of Alex Dancyg
The Haifa Interdisciplinary Unit for Polish Studies mourns the loss of Alex Dancyg, a Polish-born Israeli Holocaust historian who was brutally abducted by Hamas on 7 October 2023 and held hostage.
Dancyg was a dedicated advocate for Polish-Israeli dialogue. In 1990, he began working with Yad Vashem, preparing tour guides for Israeli groups visiting Poland. His role at Yad Vashem also involved lecturing and engaging with educators and students from both Poland and Israel. Dancyg spearheaded a program that facilitated meetings between pupils from 120 Israeli and Polish schools during Israeli school trips to Poland. He was a long-time associate of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Institute.
For his educational contributions, Dancyg received several accolades, including: The National Education Commission award, the highest honor from the Polish Education Ministry, The Silver Cross of Merit from former Polish President Lech Kaczyński, The Eudoxja Rakowska Prize from the Polcul Foundation in 2013 for "his long-standing activity in historical education of Israeli and Polish youth", the title "Man of Reconciliation" from the Polish Council of Christians and Jews in 2023, awarded while he was held hostage by Hamas.
We extend our deepest condolences to Dancyg's family and friends.
