Overview

Krakow’s Jewish Quarter was once home to one of Europe’s largest Jewish communities, but the devastation of World War Two brought tragedy on an unprecedented scale.

On this fascinating audio tour, you’ll find out about the German Army’s invasion of Poland in September 1939, and hear how World War Two irrevocably changed the Polish landscape forever. You’ll also delve into the exact reasons why the Nazis targeted Jews.

The tour starts outside Hamsa Restaurant. As you walk you’ll hear about the history of Kazimierz, from its roots as an independent Royal city in 1334 to the Nazi occupation of 1939. You’ll also learn how Poland was once home to half of the world’s Jewish population.

You’ll visit the Kraków ghetto where Jews were imprisoned during the Second World War, and hear how those tragic years transformed this vibrant quarter from a thriving centre of Jewish life into a site of wartime tragedy.
