Krakow (FB) Live

Krakow has long been a cultural centre and architectural gem. It was a historic capital of Poland and an extremely important centre of Jewish history and culture. The Jewish population was annihilated during WW2 - Auschwitz is close, but most the Krakow Jews - squeezed into the tiny Ghetto / prison - were exterminated before the expansion of the camp. Since being rebuilt, central Krakow is lovely and the central zone is pedestrianized. The Jewish district still exists (we had a wonder meal) but the Jewish population is a tiny echo of what once existed. I hope you enjoy this replay of a Facebook live. #architecture #history #poland
