Ancient Kazimierz shops in Krakow at night

Fascinating night scene of historic shops in Krakow's Jewish quarter of Kazimierz. Vintage wooden signs bear the names of Jewish merchants from the past: Aron Weinberg Towary Galanteryjne, Stanislaw Nowak Sklep Spozywczy, Benjamin Holcer Stolarz, Salon Mod. These reconstructed facades evoke the atmosphere of Jewish Krakow before the Holocaust, when Kazimierz was one of the most important centers of Yiddish culture in Europe. A solitary passerby crosses the scene, adding a touch of daily life to this corner of historical memory.
