Tracing Jewish Culture in Poland
Description
Among numerous assets and tourist attractions to be seen in Poland,
the cultures of ethnic minorities hold a special status. Very often these
exist only as material remnants of the past. The Jewish heritage is of
great significance here.
Compared to other countries, Poland boasts a
vast array of Jewish monuments due to a number of Jewish communities
that settled down in Poland before WWII broke out. Almost every bigger
town housed a religious site of Jewish culture back then.
Extermination
of the Jewish nation went in step with consistent, large-scale demolishment
of the objects, mainly synagogues, by the German occupier. Despite
the vast damage, Poland preserved many outstanding places and monuments
of
Jewish heritage.
Kazimierz, a Jewish quarter in Krakow, has been
declared by UNESCO one of the World Cultural Heritage sites. They attract
not
only Jewish tourists, but also thousands of visitors from all over
the world, who are left spellbound.
