Special Jewish visit in Kraków/Poland Jewish District - Kazimierz Part 1
Kazimierz – the district south of the Old Town between the Wisła River and ul. Dietla (where a tributary of the Wisła once flowed) was the centre of Jewish life in Kraków for over 500 years, before it was systematically destroyed during World War II. In the communist era it became one of Kraków’s dodgiest districts while gradually falling into disrepair. Rediscovered in the 1990s, thanks to the fall of the regime and worldwide exposure through the lens of Steven Spielberg, Kazimierz has rebounded and is today Kraków’s most exciting district – a bustling, bohemian neighbourhood packed with historical sites, atmospheric cafes and art galleries. Well-known for its associations with Schindler and Spielberg, traces of Kazimierz’s Jewish history have not only survived, but literally abound in the form of the district’s numerous synagogues and Jewish cemeteries. In fact, no other place in Europe conveys a sense of pre-war Jewish culture on the continent better than Kazimierz. As a result, the district has become a major tourist draw and pilgrimage site for Jews, which has led to the return of contemporary Jewish culture in the area. Each summer since 1988 the massively popular Jewish Culture Festival has filled Kazimierz’s streets and cafes with music, while educating Kraków’s residents and guests about the city’s pre-war Jewish history and celebrating modern Jewish culture. The fact that it’s one of the year’s biggest parties proves that there’s more to Kazimierz than sepia photographs and old synagogues. Here you’ll find the heart of Kraków’s artistic, bohemian character behind the wooden shutters of dozens of antique shops and art galleries. Peeling façades and obscure courtyards hide dozens of bars and cafes, many affecting an air of pre-war timelessness. Centred around the former Jewish square now known as Plac Nowy, Kazimierz has emerged as the city’s best destination for cafe culture and nightlife. Alternative, edgy and packed with oddities, Kazimierz is an essential point of interest to any visitor.

Krakowski Kazimierz jest miejscem szczególnym i niezwykłym, a zarazem różnorodnym pod względem społecznym, kulturowym, architektonicznym czy religijnym. Tutaj historia przeplata się z życiem współczesnym na każdej z ulic i w każdej z kamienic. Jedynie tu możemy zaobserwować przenikanie się tradycji chrześcijańskich oraz żydowskich na przykład w miejscach gdzie krzyżują się ulice Rabina Meiselsa z ulicą Bożego Ciała czy ulica Berka Joselewicza z ulicą św. Sebastiana.
Niewątpliwie jest to dzielnica ze wspaniałymi zabytkami i tradycjami. Wśród tutejszych zabytków wyróżniają się kościoły Bożego Ciała i św. Katarzyny, kościół O.O Paulinów na Skałce sanktuarium św. Stanisława, będącego patronem Polski i Panteon Narodowy, również ratusz na Placu Wolnica i cały zespół zabytków architektury przemysłowej na ulicy św. Wawrzyńca.
Dawny Kazimierz dzielił się na część chrześcijańską i żydowską. Miasto żydowskie obejmowało teren obecnych ulic Miodowej, Starowiślnej, Św. Wawrzyńca, Wąskiej, Józefa i Nowej, były one wydzielone parkanami i kamiennym murem, który istniał do 1800 roku. Natomiast na przecięciu ulic Jakuba i Józefa mieściła się jedna z trzech bram wjazdowych. Centrum stanowiła dzisiejsza ulica Szeroka. Tam też, a także w sąsiednich uliczkach powstały liczne bóżnice, cmentarz, łaźnia kahalna oraz liczne kamienice.
Przy samej ulicy Szerokiej znajduje się pięć bożnic. Najstarsza - Stara Bożnica, zniszczona podczas wojny, została odrestaurowana i dziś mieszczą się tam zbiory judaistyczne Muzeum Historycznego Krakowa. Jedyną czynną obecnie ortodoksyjną bożnicą jest Bożnica Remuh (ul. Szeroka 40). W pobliżu znajduje się jeden z najstarszych w Europie i w Polsce cmentarzy żydowskich, na którym grzebano Żydów od połowy XVI do połowy XIX wieku. Jednakże najstarszy, a zarazem pierwszy cmentarz żydowski mieścił się obok nieistniejącego już stawu poza murami miejskimi od strony północno wschodniej, w okolicach dzisiejszej ulicy Dajwór. W roku 1800 powstał nowy cmentarz przy ulicy Miodowej 55. Natomiast przy ul. Szerokiej 6 była mykwa - rytualna łaźnia dla mężczyzn i kobiet.
Przez wiele lat dzielnica Kazimierz kojarzyła się z ruderami, opuszczonymi domami, itp. Jednak kilkanaście lat temu zaczęła ona powracać do życia. Znacznie przyczyniły się do tego m.in. Festiwal Kultury Żydowskiej, film Stevena Spielberga - Lista Schindlera, a także swego rodzaju moda na sztukę i kulturę żydowską.
Dziś Kazimierz jest sercem nocnego życia Krakowa. To tutaj znajduje się najwięcej pubów, restauracji i kawiarni, gdzie turyści, a także mieszkańcy przesiadują od rana do późnych godzin nocnych. Coraz więcej artystów przeprowadza się na Kazimierz, odnajdując tutaj unikalną atmosferę i niepowtarzalny klimat. I coraz więcej tutaj turystów, dla większości których zobaczenie Kazimierza jest takim samym obowiązkiem jak spacer po Rynku Głównym i wysłuchanie hejnału z wieży mariackiej. Na Placu Żydowskim latem odbywają się liczne festiwale i imprezy, które służą promowaniu tej pięknej dzielnicy. Przez cały rok pojawiają się tutaj turyści zwiedzający zabytki. Znajduje się tu także wiele hosteli mogących ugościć przyjezdnych. Dzięki temu Kazimierz staje się coraz bardziej popularny i można stwierdzić, że skutecznie konkuruje z Rynkiem Głównym o klientów.

Krakow Jewish Ghetto District Tour
The Kraków Ghetto was one of five major, metropolitan Jewish ghettos created by Nazi Germany in the new General Government territory during the German occupation of Poland in World War II. It was established for the purpose of exploitation, terror, and persecution of local Polish Jews, as well as the staging area for separating the able workers from those who would later be deemed unworthy of life.
KRAKOW, EXPLORING the historic JEWISH CEMETERY ✡️, POLAND
SUBSCRIBE: - Let's go for a walking tour of this very historic and very spectacular Jewish cemetery located in the beautiful city of Krakow in Poland. Filmed on a Sunday (it was quiet) and very foggy morning and that made it even more spectacular.
Kraków, a southern Poland city near the border of the Czech Republic, is known for its well-preserved medieval core and Jewish quarter. Its old town – ringed by Planty Park and remnants of the city’s medieval walls – is centered on the stately, expansive Rynek Glówny (market square). This plaza is the site of the Cloth Hall, a Renaissance-era trading outpost, and St. Mary’s Basilica, a 14th-century Gothic church.
Poland is the sixth most populous member state of the European Union.[8] Poland's capital and largest metropolis is Warsaw. Other major cities include Kraków, Łódź, Wrocław, Poznań, Gdańsk, and Szczecin. Poland is bordered by the Baltic Sea, Lithuania, and Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast to the north, Belarus and Ukraine to the east, Slovakia and the Czech Republic to the south, and Germany to the west.

Jewish District - Kazimierz - Krakow
Kazimierz Jewish District, is the central district of Krakow, which is located over the hill of Wawel.
Just get away from the elegant buildings of the Old City and walk to the south-east, to plunge, after just one kilometer, in a completely different.
Instead of the wide streets traveled by cars, there are narrow streets and houses time-worn as a dress rumpled and worn with age.
We visit the location where they filmed a scene in the movie Schindler's List, the scale and the child.
Almost all identify with the Jewish quarter Kazimierz, in reality it is only the eastern part, and to be honest, even here the Jews are the majority.
Were the ancient synagogues, historic buildings, a few shops and some kosher restaurants; for the rest of the population it is predominantly Catholic.
We continue with the visit, entering the New Synagogue and its cemetery; the old cemetery located behind the synagogue is one of the oldest in the entire Poland.
Il quartiere ebraico o Kazimierz, è il quartiere centrale di Cracovia, che si trova oltre la collina del Wavel.
Basta allontanarsi dagli eleganti palazzi della Città vecchia e incamminarsi in direzione sud-est, per immergersi, dopo appena un chilometro, in un'atmosfera completamente differente.
Al posto delle ampie vie percorse dalle carrozze, ci sono stretti vicoli e case consumate dal tempo, come un vestito sgualcito e usurato dagli anni.
Visitiamo la location dove hanno girato una scena del film Schindler's List, la scala e il bambino.
Quasi tutti identificano Kazimierz con il quartiere ebraico, in realtà lo è solo la parte orientale, e a dirla tutta, nemmeno qui gli ebrei costituiscono la maggioranza.
Sono rimaste le antiche sinagoghe, gli edifici storici, qualche bottega e alcuni ristoranti kasher; per il resto la popolazione è in prevalenza cattolica.
Proseguiamo con la visita, entrando nella Sinagoga Nuova e il suo cimitero; il vecchio cimitero che sorge dietro la sinagoga, è uno dei più antichi dell'intera Polonia.

Jewish Kazimierz:
Kazimierz is a historical district of Kraków and Kraków Old Town, Poland. Since its inception in the fourteenth century to the early nineteenth century, Kazimierz was an independent city, a royal city of the Crown of the Polish Kingdom, located south of Kraków Old Town and separated by a branch of the Vistula river. For many centuries, Kazimierz was a place of coexistence and interpenetration of Christian and Jewish cultures, its north-eastern part of the district was historic Jewish, whose Jewish inhabitants were forcibly relocated in 1941 by the German occupying forces into the Krakow ghetto just across the river in Podgórze. Today Kazimierz is one of the major tourist attractions of Krakow and an important center of cultural life of the city.The boundaries of Kazimierz are defined by an old island in the Vistula river. The northern branch of the river (Stara Wisła – Old Vistula) was filled-in at the end of the 19th century during the partitions of Poland and made into an extension of ul. Stradomska Street connecting Kazimierz district with Kraków Old Town.
Jews had played an important role in the Kraków regional economy since the end of the 13th century, granted the freedom of worship, trade and travel by Bolesław the Pious in his General Charter of Jewish Liberties issued already in 1264. The Jewish community in Kraków had lived undisturbed alongside their Christian neighbours under the protective King Kazimierz III, the last king of the Piast dynasty. Nevertheless, in early 15th century pressured by the Synod of Constance some dogmatic clergy began to push for less official tolerance. Accusations of blood libel by a fanatic priest in Kraków led to riots against the Jews in 1407 even though the royal guard hastened to the rescue.
As part of the re-founding of the Kraków university, starting in 1400, the Academy began to buy out buildings in the Old Town. Some Jews moved to the area around modern Plac Szczepański.The oldest synagogue building standing in Poland was built in Kazimierz at around that time, either in 1407 or 1492 (the date varies with several sources). It is an Orthodox fortress synagogue called the Old Synagogue. In 1494 a disastrous fire destroyed a large part of Kraków. In 1495 the Polish king Jan I Olbracht transferred the Jews from the ravaged Old Town to the Bawół district of Kazimierz. The Jewish Qahal petitioned the Kazimierz town council for the right to build its own interior walls, cutting across the western end of the older defensive walls in 1553. Due to the growth of the community and influx of Jews from Bohemia, the walls were expanded again in 1608. Later requests to expand the walls were turned down as redundant.
The area between the walls was known as the Oppidum Judaeorum, the Jewish City, which represented only about one fifth of the geographical area of Kazimierz, but nearly half of its inhabitants. The Oppidum became the main spiritual and cultural centre of Polish Jewry, hosting many of Poland’s finest Jewish scholars, artists and craftsmen. Among its famous inhabitants were the Talmudist Moses Isserles, the Kabbalist Natan Szpiro, and the royal physician Shmuel bar Meshulam.Wikipedia

We hope that you can visit these places in Kraków too. Let us know if the comments below if are planning your visit any time soon!
