Jewish Sector


As has become evident, each Central European city has it's own Jewish sector. Krakow's was characterised by a central synagogue and town square. One of the interesting facts was that Helena Rubenstein was born here. She moved from Krakow to avoid being married at a young age, and the rest as they say is history. The central square is full of Jewish symbolism, making for an authentic experience. The day we visited was very peaceful, with a strong sense of community.
