Inside the kazimierz Jewish district of Krakow, this photographic exhibition explorers the historic Jewish culture that used to exist before the Holocaust. It was opened in April 2004. There are two major exhibits here.

The smaller and less famous exhibit focuses on the citizens of Poland who have been recognized by the Yad Vashem as Righteous Among the Nations. These are the people acclaimed for saving the lives of Jewish citizens from extermination during the Holocaust. Poland boasts 6706 such men and women, which is the highest of any nation.

The second exhibit took 12 years to complete. It is called Traces of Memory, and it documents by photographs the 800 year history of Jewish influence in Western Galicia. It focuses on ruins, the culture of a time gone by, the Holocaust, and Jewish activism today. The Auschwitz concentration camp also features prominently.

Occasionally the museum also hosts temporary exhibitions so check the museum calendar. for those interested the museum also offers workshops and lectures on Jewish religion and culture. Sometimes there are concerts and other cultural events. There is a small kids corner. Don't forget to check out the cafe in the book shop.
