A Polish tour guide traces a demolished Jewish past

A decade-long project has successfully identified and digitized the names of 9,100 Jews who were buried in Krakow’s historic Plaszów cemetery prior to its destruction by the Nazis. This initiative highlights the importance of remembering and preserving Jewish history in Poland, particularly in areas heavily affected by the Holocaust.

The efforts undertaken aim to honor the memories of those lost and to educate future generations about the rich Jewish heritage that once flourished in the region. The work not only acknowledges past atrocities but also contributes to the broader efforts of Jewish cultural preservation.
