Kasimierz

Krakow is full of some pretty fantastic sights. Even for those who hate to look like tourists will find it hard to resist pulling out the camera and snapping photos like crazy. It's just full of so much history, so much "old," so much beauty.

One of the most beautiful places in Krakow is Kasimierz. Kasimierz is the Jewish quarter of Krakow. Kasimierz was a Jewish community from the 14th century until the WWII. Currently, the Jewish community is starting to come back to life in Kasimierz after being eradicated after the second World War. You'll find old synagogues, some that are even still active today).

Kasimierz is also home to Schindler's factory, where Schindler saved hundreds of Jewish people during the World War. It is now full of exhibits that tell this history.

Danielle and I walked (a lot!) through Kasimierz and I showed her only some of the great things to see here. Here are some photos of what we saw:
