01 Gathering the pieces of the Jewish heritagea sentimental journey in searching for the light of candles and Sabbath prayers in Kazimierz... Pre-war Cracow was a city in which more than 65 thousand Jews had been living. Today's Cracow is a city which begins to remember this important fact. We would like to propose to you an unusual trip following the trail of Jewish culture and history and to show you what is left from the previous Jewish district which was full of life. Let's take a stroll through Szeroka Street where you can still see the famous Remu Synagogue and Cemetery, then walk through Podgorze district and see the last fragments of the ghetto walls, then visit the real Schindler Factory at Zablocie, which probably sounds familiar because of the movie filmed here. Place your own memory stone under the Martyrdom Monument in the place of the previous Plaszow Concentration Camp created by Nazis in Cracow during the war. Our desire is to show you the symbolical presence of so many people who lived here and had to abandon this place forever.

RecommendationsMy name is Monte and, along with my wife Mickey, we led a photography workshop trip to Poland between June 23 and July 8, 2005. The purpose of this letter is to tell you how totally pleased we were with our guide, Monika Prylinska. In fact, I've been conducting photography workshops throughout the world for 15 years and I would rank Monika as the best guide I have ever had. She was very personable, very knowledgeable and went out of her way to satisfy our entire group. Monika was most helpful in making our trip to Poland (first visit for any of us) enjoyable and memorable. Poland is a very beautiful country and we all took home a very favorable impression, thanks in great part to Monika. On a return visit, I would definitely request her as a guide. Sincerely, |
