Welcome to another edition of The Local Show on Grassroots Community Network!

When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, millions of women and children fled across the border seeking safety. In this episode of Come to Think of It, host Steve Nemirovsky speaks with Jonathan Ornstein, CEO of the Jewish Community Center (JCC) Krakow, about how his community—rooted in Holocaust remembrance—rose overnight to provide food, shelter, childcare, education, and hope to more than 400,000 Ukrainian refugees. Jonathan shares the remarkable origin story of the JCC, launched through the support of Prince Charles (now King Charles III), and explains how lessons from history drive a moral responsibility to act today. Together, they explore resilience, solidarity, and why Ukraine’s fight is not only for its own survival but for the values of the free world. 👉 A powerful story of survival, compassion, and what it truly means to stand against indifference.
