Krakowski Kazimierz Dzielnica żydowska, Kazimierz The Jewish Quater of Cracow

PL: Album poświęcony jednej z najbardziej znanych dzielnic Krakowa. Jest ona nadal piękna bo zachowała w sobie charakter dawnego mia sta żydowskiego.
To jedyne już takie miejsce - Kazimierz - Jeruzalem Europy.
EN: Nowdays, the Jews who gather for prayers in the Remuh synagogue each week are but a handful. More and more often , however , Jew s from far-away lands, from over the oceans come to their ancestors' graves.Their faces, gestures and robes remind one of the Hasidi m from the old sepia -coloured photographs. For a moment they fill, the alleys, the synagogues, the cemeteries with the murmur of th eir voices. And then I feel as if the time had reversed , as if I were taking piuctures of a world that has lived and shall live for ever- of Kazimierz , the Jerusalem of Europe.''
