Having been established as a city on the island in close vicinity of Krakow, Kazimierz was supposed to become a competitor to its neighbour – Krakow. The Jews who in the Middle Ages were persecuted in Western Europe started settling in Kazimierz and soon this city became a place of Jewish prosperity.
It is here where you can find Jewish synagogues, cozy and tiny streets on which the hustle and bustle of Jewish life was prevailing before the catastrophe of WW2. See the oldest synagogue in Poland, trace the filming spots of ‘Schindler’s List’. Learn who the Ashkenazim and Sephardim are, get to know Helena Rubinstein, Roman Polanski, Ludwik Zamenhof, and Maximilian Faktorowicz.
Join us for a 2.5-hour tour where we will discover the Jewish heritage in Krakow, get to know their traditions and exciting people who were creating the Jewish history in Poland.
