Kazimierz

Krakowska Street - Jewish Kazimir

Kazimierz (Yiddish .: קזימיר, Kazimir) - is forming part of Krakow's Old Town. In the first half of the twentieth century has become a typical Jewish quarter.
For many years, Kazimierz was associated with hovels, abandoned houses. However, the district became known in Europe after Steven Spielberg's film .
After the fall of communism many Jews return in Krakow. They opened here a lot of new cafes, resuscitated Jewish theaters and galleries.
Kazimir hosts the largest  the Jewish Culture Festival in Europe.
Jewish minority organizes here:   Feast of Soups, Bread Day and the Feast of Joseph Street.
One of the most interesting monuments of Kazimierz is Polish Basilica of Corpus Christi.
It is a Gothic Roman Catholic Basilica, in Corpus Christi 26 st. The church was the mainstay of Polish culture in the Jewish quarter.
