Kraków Ghetto in Podgórze: Life, Deportations and Liquidation, 1941-1943
German authorities ordered the establishment of a Jewish ghetto in the Podgórze district of Kraków in early March 1941. Jews were concentrated there by March 21, and the population reached between 15,000 and 20,000. Deportations to Belzec took place on June 1 and June 6, 1942, removing as many as 7,000 people. About 6,000 more were deported on October 28, 1942. The ghetto was liquidated on March 13 and 14, 1943. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum says about 2,000 Jews were shot, about 2,000 were sent to the Płaszów camp and about 3,000 were deported to Auschwitz. Period photographs document the March 1941 forced relocation, ghetto walls and gates, segregated public transportation, identification procedures, workshop labor, family life, deportation columns and the final liquidation.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

18/11/1939 An announcement ordering Jews in the Krakow region to wear an armband with the Star of David. "Any Jew above the age of 12 has to wear an armband. A Jew is: 1. anyone who is or was of the Mosaic faith. 2. anyone whose mother or father is or was of the Mosaic faith. Everyone is required to wear an identifying mark in the form of an armband with a blue Zionist star. The enforcing agency will be the Jewish Council." Signed: Wachter, Governor  · |

Good pictures! Y'know, in Krakow there's a cafe just off like the main street that hasn't been touched since the war - all the plaster work's gone to shit and stuff and it really old and falling-to-bitsy... I had chocolate cake in it... How informative is that?!   |

Yeah, I think I have one somewhere... I'm shovelling cake down my neck in it... Sure it can be edited! Will have a look for it after... Yeah, I mean Warsaw's pretty much untouched in parts but then they went and rebuilt the ghetto so you lose a bit of the feel for originality... Still, mustn't grumble!  |

It really isn't a sight anyone wants to see! Anyway, I haven't looked for it yet but when I can be bothered you may have it. And then you will run away quickly! |
