Krakow Ghetto

In 1939, the Nazis invaded Krakow. A Jewish ghetto was established where it held 15,000 Jews in an area that had originally held 3,000 people. In 1942, the ghetto was liquidated, meaning it's inhabitants were removed. Most were sent to the death camp Belzec. Today, there are at least 150 Jews in Krakow. The Jewish population prior to the war had been here since the 1200s.
