Dr. Monika Krzykała
Behind the Scenes
Monika Krzykała, like Bartosz Gajdzik, has a doctorate in philosophy, though they are very humble about their accomplishments. Monika was first exposed to information about Lublin's Jewish population when she picked a copy of a memoir by a Lublin Jew out of her parents' bookshelf: "Mój Lublin" by Roza Fiszman Sznajdman. Monika brings her inquisitive nature and sharp mind to all her contributions to Brama Grodzka's education team, of which she is a part.
