Today has been a meaningful and powerful day for our group in Poland as they embarked on a tour of Jewish Krakow.   The day began with an introductory talk by Robert Gadek, the director of the Jewish Cultural Center. His talk on history of the Jews in Poland before and after World War II would prepare the group for the important touring that followed.

Today’s tour included a visit to Schindler’s Factory- recently opened as a museum to rave reviews, Kazimierz (Historic Ghetto)  and a guided tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau (see photo of the entrance to Auschwitz)

After an emotional afternoon, we lightened things up a bit to enjoy the music of our ancestors during dinner with Klezmer Music in Kasimierz.
