WADOWICE – Facts, Scandals, History, and Things to See.
📌 Wadowice is a little-known town, associated almost exclusively with John Paul II. Meanwhile, it was here that a trial famous around the world took place (the emigration trial), and it was here that one of the greatest criminals of the 20th century spent the last days of his life (more about him in the film). We present the most important historical sites, such as the Basilica, St. Joseph’s Church, the Family Home of St. John Paul II Museum, the Municipal Museum, the secondary school, the former military barracks, and more. We also mention the famous “papal cream cake,” Mikołaj’s manor house, and the Piast princess.

OŚWIĘCIM – Miasto w cieniu Auschwitz- Historia, Ludzie – wczoraj i dziś.
Opowiadamy o mieście Oświęcim, jego historii, zabytkach i ludziach. Świadomie nie poruszamy tematu obozu KL Auschwitz, ponieważ na ten temat powstało już wiele, bardzo dobrych filmów dokumentalnych. Tymczasem nadal sporo osób nie wie, że Oświęcim to też miasto o ponad 700 letniej historii…
The Town Known as Auschwitz
Auschwitz is known to many as the ultimate symbol of the Holocaust. But the town of Oświęcim, in which the camp is located, has a rich Jewish history of its own that predates the camp. Before the war, Jews made up 60% of the town’s population. Today, there are no Jews living there. The Auschwitz Jewish Center (AJC) has taught this history …
KAZIMIERZ … What did Kazimierz look like in Krakow before the war? What’s his story? Why did the Jews live in Kazimierz? Where did they pray? What was and is he known for? Here is another story from the series: “Travels around Poland in time and space”. “KRAKÓW – KAZIMIERZ – The Jewish Quarter” – is a film in which we try to show the history of the Jewish part of the former, independent city of Kazimierz, located south of Krakow, which is today a district of Krakow. We will tell you about the Christian district of Krakow’s Kazimierz in a few weeks. We present there a subjective selection of topics. We tell, among others about places such as: Old Synagogue, Remu Synagogue and Remu Cemetery, High Synagogue, Tempel Synagogue, Izaak Synagogue, Plac Nowy and Okrąglak, Thorna Restaurant, Szeroka Street or Klezmer Hois. We show what a mikveh, mezuzah and klezmer music are. We remember such figures as: Mojżesz Isserles, Helena Rubinstein, Mordechaj Gebirtig, Sara Szenirer and Leopold Kozłowski. We show what is in the former prayer house – Hevre. We show Jewish Kazimierz from a drone. We mention places and events such as the Krakow JCC, the Galicia Museum and the Jewish Culture Festival. We compare Krakow’s Jewish Kazimierz from years ago in colored photographs with the contemporary one. *********************** We invite you to visit Kazimierz together. We are not only the authors of this channel, but also guides in Krakow. We show you around synagogues, churches, routes and museums.
