Misler, Dennis
( - 2008)By Jennifer Moskal
Most recently lived in Konstancin near Warsaw, Poland, his adopted country. Misler was a president the Polish American Jewish Alliance for Youth Action (PAJA), a non-profit organization he co-founded in 2000 with the goal to help young Poles and Americans with Jewish and non-Jewish roots develop friendship and understanding and to shatter fears and prejudices. Due to his passions, throughout the life of the PAJA, the organization planned and coordinated culturally-historical meetings and conferences and also received numerous honors and accolades. The organization made a major contribution to correcting perspectives about the Holocaust and toward greater understanding between Poles and Jews.
