Jewish Heritage
Visit Kazimierz -a flourishing centre of Jewish religion, culture and trade. Due to the policy of religious tolerance in Poland, Kazimierz became a safe haven for diverse groups of Jewish refugees from all over Europe. The tour aims to retrace this diversity which resulted in the construction of numerous synagogues (including the oldest one in Poland) and a very unique atmosphere which is still present there. Also, you might recognise some of the sights that appeared in the Oscar winning Schindler's list which was shot in this area.
