Introduction:
On
this tour your private guide will take you on a journey to visit the Jewish
Heritage in Poland. Jewish
settlement in Poland goes back to the 13th century. By the Second World War
there were about three and a half million Jews living in Poland. Under Nazi
occupation during World War II this population was practically wiped out and its
cultural development abruptly stopped. Only a handful of synagogues, Jewish
cemeteries and art treasures survived. By sheer miracle one of the Jewish
monuments to survive Shoah was the 15th-century synagogue
in Krakow, along with
a number of other buildings in the city's Jewish quarter, Kazimierz. Other
synagogues which were saved are to be seen in Rzeszow, Lancut, Lesko, Tykocin,
Kielce, Lodz, Kazimierz Dolny, Nowy Sacz, and Zamosc, and cemeteries and secular
buildings in Krakow, Wroclaw, Lublin, and Lodz..
