Jewish History Tour

In the afternoon, I joined a Walkative free walking tour of Kazimierz and the former ghetto, which are, contrary to what I had thought, not one and the same.

Over the course of three hours, our guide gave us a very comprehensive overview of Jewish history:

From when they where pushed out of other European and found refuge first in Krakow, then in Kazimierz (they used to be two separate settlements) to the atrocities of WWII (which is when they were forced to move to the ghetto across the Vistula river), the 1960s and the present-day Jewish community.

I've included some tidbits of information in the captions of the pictures.Okumaya devam et
