Poland's Jewish Awakening: Krakow

Once a major center of European Jewry, Krakow was decimated by the Holocaust and communism. Now, with the help of JDC, the city is re-engaging with its Jewish history -- pioneering innovative festivals and developing critical museums and research institutions. *** For more than 100 years, the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) has been saving Jewish lives, building Jewish life, and transforming Jewish values into action that benefits all people in need. As the world’s leading Jewish humanitarian aid group, JDC today works in more than 70 countries and in Israel to alleviate hunger and hardship, rescue Jews in danger, create lasting connections to Jewish life, and provide disaster relief and development support for victims of natural and man-made disasters. *** Follow us on social: Facebook: www.facebook.com/theJDC Twitter: www.twitter.come/theJDC Instagram: www.instagram.com/jdcjoint LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/company/jdc
