Prior to World War II, Poland was home to one of the most sizable Jewish populations in Europe, amounting to approximately 3.5 million Jews. The Jewish community established their presence in Krakow in the 11th century, and by the time World War II erupted, they composed over 25% of the city’s inhabitants. Despite the deadly attempts by Nazis to eliminate them, their religious and cultural achievements persist and are displayed in Kazimierz, a district in Krakow that used to be the Jewish neighborhood.
Our exploration of Krakow will commence from the historic Old Town. We’ll marvel at the charming main plaza before advancing to Wawel Hill where the medieval castle that dominates Krakow stands. Then, we’ll move on to Kazimierz to experience the Jewish influence. Here, we’ll dine at one of the many charming cafes. Lastly, we’ll drop by the museum situated in the former factory of Oskar Schindler, who saved over 1,000 lives during the war by preventing them from being transported to concentration camps.
