Robert and Patricia Bernheim live in China, Maine. Robert is an Associate Professor of History (Holocaust and Genocide Studies) at the University of Maine at Augusta and the founder of Feivel’s Old World Bagels and Bakery. Patricia is a consultant with Mary Kay and the CEO of ReUse ME, a nonprofit providing makers and tinkerers opportunities to use their skills for local and global good while inspiring a repurposing revolution as a collective of bona fide craftivists. In the spring of 2024, Robert & Patricia began reintroducing bagels to Southeast Poland as part of a concerted effort at bagel diplomacy.
Poland, the epicentre of the Holocaust, began denying responsibility as soon as the Nazi atrocities ended. The nation’s distortion of history continues today – with disturbing consequences. World-renowned Holocaust historian Jan Grabowski examines how the government, museums, schools and state never came to grips with the dark past. This tour de force reminds one of the power of historical research based on documents and historical reasoning.
