Kazimierz







It is in the district of Kazimierz, known today as Krakow's Jewish neighborhood, that Jews lived from the 14th Century until the Second World War. Although Kazimierz was severely destroyed during the Nazi occupation, many buildings, a couple of synagogues and some cemeteries still remain to this day. I very much enjoyed walking through all the small streets that make up this neighborhood- you could really feel how old it was and how full of history it is.
