Walking Tour - Jewish Quarter and the Ghetto
At the end of the 15th century, Jews settled in Kazimierz, the "Jewish Quarter," which was later incorporated into Krakow. I'll guide you through the poignant history of the Jewish community, especially during the Nazi occupation. Explore synagogues, the courtyard of Schindler's List, Ghetto's Hero's Square, the ghetto wall, and the Schindler's Factory as we unravel the beautiful yet shocking story of Krakow's Jewish heritage.
