Gesher Galicia Today

In conversation with Gesher Galicia President, Dr. Steven S. Turner.

Andrew Zalewski is past vice president of Gesher Galicia and a frequent speaker at meetings of Jewish genealogical societies and cultural and academic institutions in the US and abroad. His interests and writings have focused on Jewish cultural transformation, educational access, modernizing impact of Jewish physicians, and Jewish political and legal rights in Galicia. Unique archival records—population surveys, maps, and old newspapers—provide the background for his in-depth description of Galicia.

He authored two books on Austrian Galicia: "Galician Trails: The Forgotten Story of One Family" & "Galician Portraits: In Search of Jewish Roots", in which he traced the story of his ancestors in a historical context.
