For 500 years, Kazimierz was home to a large and thriving Jewish community. Within four years of Hitler's invasion of Poland, however, the 60,000 Jews who lived in Kazimierz were murdered.
On the right of the photo is the High Synagogue. It is now a museum. About 20 feet behind the camera is the Old Synagogue. Built in the 1400s, it, too, is a museum. Most of Kazimierz's synagogues, it seems, are museums.
