Description
On a 2.5-hour tour of Kazimierz, the Jewish district of Krakaus, and Podgórze, the district, which was converted into a Jewish ghetto by the Nazis in World War II.
Poland was once home to one of the largest Jewish communities in the world, and a center of this flowering culture was Krakow. His historical Jewish quarter is a jewel of Jewish art and architecture. A place where 7 old synagogues, which surprisingly survived the destruction of World War II and the Holocaust, make a testimony from time.
During our tour we will discover the historical context of the local Jewish community, talk about the death and destruction of the Second World War, but also experience the amazing revival of Jewish culture in today's Krakow. Today's Kazimierz, a historic Jewish quarter, is also a cultural heart of the modern city of Krakow and houses a small but lively Jewish community. Podgórze, the area of the former Jewish ghetto from World War II, still tells of the tragedy that the original buildings experienced in 1941-1943. Take part in our tour and get ready for a deeply moving and fascinating story!
