Dawna stolica Polski to dzisiaj kulturowe centrum kraju, gdzie ponad 1000 lat historycznego dziedzictwa współgra z dynamicznym rozwojem techniki i biznesu. Kraków obecnie słynie z ogólnopolskich i międzynarodowych festiwali, lokalnych wydarzeń artystycznych, widowisk plenerowych, koncertów, teatralnych spektakli przyciągających artystów i miłośników kultury z całego świata. Drugie, co do wielkości miasto Polski, znane ze swojego przywiązania do tradycji, jest jednocześnie synonimem młodości jako miasto uniwersyteckie. Kraków posiada największy średniowieczny rynek w Europie, a także bajkowy zamek na Wawelu z widokiem na Wisłe. Kraków znany jest również z życia nocnego, gdzie rytm wyznacza prawie 800 pubów, restauracji, kawiarni: to centrum zabawy, ale także miejsce wyciszenia, miasto ok. 120 kościołów, świętych, pielgrzymów i duchowej obecności Jana Pawła II. Zapraszamy do poznania tego wyjątkowego miasta, spędzenia w nim niezapomnianych chwil, posmakowania odrobiny jego magii, która w przeszłości stanowiła niejednokrotnie przedmiot zachwytu artystów. Welcome to Krakow, the city of Polish kings and bishops, the centre of culture and art., a university centre and magical place. The ancient capital of Poland is nowadays the cultural and spiritual centre of Poland, a place where history meets with modern business. Nowadays Krakow is famous for its festivals, events, concerts and theatre performances attracting tourists from all over the world. This is the second largest city in Poland, famous not only as a centre of tradition and culture but also as a symbol of youth as a result of being a university centre. Kraków’s postcard-perfect Old Town comes complete with Europe’s largest medieval market square and even a fairy-tale Wawel castle overlooking the Wisła river. Krakow is a city famous for its night life. There are almost 800 pubs and restaurants, but with almost 120 churches, it’s also a religious centre, the city of John Paul II. Visiting Krakow, we will see places related to the history of Poland and Europe, traces of cultural influences, as well as magical and legendary places. 4 CLIMATE Poland has a temperate climate with hot summers and cold winters. Temperatures can get down as low as -20 °C in winter and as high as +30 °C in summer. The coldest weath- er tends to hit around February. ELECTRICITY Electricity in Poland is 230V, 50Hz AC. Plug sockets are round with two round- pin sockets. LOCAL TIME Poland is in the Central European (CET) time zone (GMT+1hr). Polish summer time (GMT+2hrs) starts on the last Sundays of March and ends on the last Sunday of October. HEALTH & EMERGENCY In the case of an emergency, mobile phone users should dial 112 to be forwarded to the police, fire department or ER. INTERNET Internet access is typically free and widely available in Poland, with practically every café and restaurant offering wi-fi to customers with laptops and smartphones. MONEY Poland is one of the few EU countries to have not adopted the Euro as currency. As which, Poland has its own currency called Zloty (PLN) - makerd as zł. 1 zł is 100 groszy which is like 100 cents in 1 dollar. Poland is ahead of the curve when it comes to cashless transactions. Credit or debit can be used just about anywhere. RELIGION According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 95% of Poles are Roman Catholics. Tourists should remember while visiting Kraków’s many churches that these aren’t museums, but active places of worship to be treated with the requisite respect. DICTIONARY/LANGUAGE Polish has one of the hardest languages on the planet to learn. To help you navigate the soft hisses and endless sibilant sounds of the Slavic tongue, we’ve put together a list of top phrases that will help you on your stay in Kraków: PL PRONUNCIATION ENG Dzień dobry! jine-dobree Good day! Do widzenia! doh-veeh-dzen-ya Good bye! Jak się masz? yak-she-mash How are you?

Sukiennice, kościółek św. Wojciecha, Wieża Ratuszowa oraz Kościół Mariacki czynią go miejscem wyjątkowym i rozpoznawalnym na całym świecie. Z Rynkiem wiążą się krakowskie legendy i tradycje oraz wiele wydarzeń historycznych. Całe Stare Miasto, otoczone pasem zieleni zwanym Plantami, to zbiór licznych kamienic i budynków o zabytkowym charakterze, w których mieszczą się muzea, galerie, kościoły, teatry, kina, księgarnie, kawiarnie, puby i restauracje. W bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie Starego Miasta wznosi się symbol potęgi państwa polskiego - Zamek Królewski oraz Katedra na Wawelu. Warte odwiedzania są również dzielnice: Kazimierz, Podgórze oraz Nowa Huta. Kazimierz po tragedii II wojny światowej przez dziesięciolecia popadał w ruinę, a obecnie staje się miejscem, gdzie zbierają się wszyscy ci, dla których Rynek i okolice stały się zbyt „turystyczne”. Z każdego zakątka Kazimierza przemawia do nas historia, kultura i religia mieszkających tu niegdyś dwóch narodów: Polaków i Żydów. Podgórze natomiast pozostaje kameralne, tajemnicze, przepełnione osobliwą atmosferą i pomnikami tragicznej historii. Zupełnie inny charakter ma Nowa Huta będąca przykładem socrealistycznej architektury. Ta pełna komunistycznych śladów dzielnica jest miejscem fascynującym i pełnym kontrastów. Miasto można zwiedzać pieszo, na rowerze, samochodem, melexem, autobusem i na wiele innych sposobów. Na kolejnych stronach naszego Przewodnika znajdziesz kilka propozycji. Main Market Square is the largest medieval square in Europe with dimensions of 200x200m. Sukiennice, church of St. Wojciech, Town Hall Tower and St. Mary’s Church make it a unique place that is recognizable all over the world. Main Market Square is the background of many Krakow legends and lots of historical events. The entire Old Town, surrounded by a green belt called Planty, contains of numerous historical buildings, museums, galleries, churches, theaters, cinemas, bookstores, cafes, pubs and restaurants. In the immediate vicinity of the Old Town you can visit the Royal Castle and the Wawel Cathedral - vivid symbols of Polish history and power. Kazimierz, Podgórze and Nowa Huta districts are also worth discovering. Kazimierz - Jewish District, after the tragedy of World War II fell into disrepair for years, and just now has became a place where visitors want to gather and enjoy the less „touristy” atmosphere. The history, culture and religion of Poles and Jews speak to us from every corner of Kazimierz. Podgórze, on the other hand, remains intimate, mysterious, filled with a peculiar atmosphere and monuments of a tragic history. Nowa Huta - an example of socialist architecture, has a completely different character. This district is full of communist traces and became a truly fascinating place that can really surprise us with it’s contrasts. The city can be visited on foot, by bike, by car, by melex, by bus and in many other ways.

  • Exhibiting Galicia: Problems of Interpretation and Other Reflections on the Permanent Exhibition at the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków
    SCRIPTA JUDAICA CRACOVIENSIA Vol. 18 (2020) pp. 105–126 doi: 10.4467/20843925SJ.20.008.13876 www.ejournals.eu/Scripta-Judaica-Cracoviensia Exhibiting Galicia: Problems of Interpretation and Other Reflections on the Permanent Exhibition at the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków Jonathan Webber (Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland) e-mail: [email protected] Keywords: Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków, museum, exhibition, Holocaust, photography Abstract: The purpose of this article is to offer a critical comment on the permanent exhibition of the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kraków. The exhibition is innovative in museological terms. It is not about the Jewish history of Galicia, nor is it arranged using conventional chronology, nor is it comprehensive. Rather it is divided into five sections, based on a five-part set of ideas, simple ideas intended to help visitors make sense of the complex realities surrounding the present-day situation of the Jewish heritage seventy-five years after the Holocaust. Let me now briefly outline how these five ideas are represented museologically, the five sections in which the exhibition is organized. The opening section directly presents the popular Jewish stereotype that post-Holocaust Poland is nothing but a vast Jewish graveyard. So this section of the exhibition consists entirely of the raw, shocking sight of desolation – for example, photos of ruined synagogues or ruined Jewish cemeteries. The 23 photos on show in this section include the appalling condition of the synagogue in Stary Dzików (a small town near the Ukrainian border) as it looked in the 1990s and of the devastated Jewish cemetery in Czarny Dunajec (a small town near the Slovak border) at that time.

  • Prof. Jonathan Webber P
    The Jewish Heritage of Polish Galicia Course Code: MK_25 Language of Instruction: English Course tutors: Prof. Jonathan Webber Prof. Webber is a British social anthropologist with special expertise on European Judaism and European Jews. He taught for eighteen years at the University of Oxford, and then for eight years was the UNESCO Chair in Jewish and Interfaith Studies at the University of Birmingham (UK) before moving in 2011 to take up a professorship at the Institute of European Studies of the Jagiellonian University. Since 1988 Prof. Webber has been researching and documenting the rich history of Polish– Jewish relations and the cultural heritage of Polish Jews. He is chairman of the Galicia Jewish Museum in Kazimierz and a member of the International Auschwitz Council advising, promoting and aiding the Auschwitz-Birkenau State Museum in its various activities. He is author of Rediscovering Traces of Memory: The Jewish Heritage of Polish Galicia (Indiana University Press, 2009). Prof. Webber has been awarded the Gold Cross of Poland's Order of Merit for services to Polish–Jewish dialogue. Description This is an introductory course. Its main purpose is to present students with the opportunity to assess alternative ways of approaching and describing the realities and representations of the post-Holocaust legacy of the Jewish presence in Poland––through an appreciation of Jewish religious and cultural achievements over many centuries (and how these are displayed in museums or otherwise treated as ‘Jewish heritage’), through an understanding of the Holocaust as it unfolded in the region (and how it is commemorated, for example through monuments), and through a general examination of contemporary memory processes at work, by both Jews and non-Jews.
