About this talk
Join us to learn about the Golden Age of Krakow Jews and discover Kazimierz, Krakow's Jewish quarter. Learn what attracted Jews to Krakow, when the Old Synagogue was built, and why Jews left Krakow and settled in Kazimierz. As you stroll through the streets of the Old Town, you'll follow in the footsteps of the Jews who moved from the city center to Kazimierz. You'll hear exciting stories of Jewish traders and prominent thinkers and virtually visit 7 old synagogues while learning their fascinating history. You'll also discover who the legendary Esterka was and what the prominent Polish King Casimir the Great did for the Krakow Jews.
