Kazimierz




Feb 20- Woke up pretty late. Matt and I had decided to we would walk around Kazimierz and visit the Galicia Jewish Museum. Although the Galicia J.M. was small it was filled with about 50? pictures of current vestiges of Jewish life in Galicia. So it entailed pictures of modern, neglected synagogues, skeletons of buildings, once-Jewish cemetaries plowed over to create death camps, current Krakovian celebrations of Jewish life. Later, will join Matt and his cousin out on the town. Its the weekend before Lent so apparently tonight there should be an even larger number of partiers! Ha, which is hard to believe for Krakow. Pictures- Top Right Tempel Synagogue.
