Nir > On the eve of WWII Krakow’s population was 240,000 of which 60,000 were Jews. German occupation began September 6th 1939. The Germans discharged the Jewish leadership and appointed a Judenrat. In April 1940 an order was given that within four months all Jews must leave the city. About 35,000 did indeed leave. Krakow became the capital of Germany’s Polish occupation

Nir > Krakow is preferred tourism destination in Europe, has been called ‘the new Prague’ for quite a while, and its old city is one of the best preserved in Europe.  For all of us, Krakow allows an opportunity to take a break from the heavy feelings of the expedition, an opportunity to become regular tourists. To visit the Wawel Palace, walk the narrow streets of the old city, visit the rynek (town square), the peddlers’ stalls, and even the closing concert of a week of Jewish ‘cleizmer’ music. The concert, that took place in the Jewish Quarter called Kazimierz, gathered thousands of Poles and was broadcasted live on polish TV.
