Its a great historical video. Poland was definitely the most friendly country to us in Europe. Despite some misunderstandings between Poles and Jews it was our home for centuries and we loved it.
When people choose to live in a certain country that's probably because the conditions in that place are favorable there, especially when you have plenty of other places to choose from. There is no reason to compare it to any other specific country. I sense a little resentment in your comment. The facts speak for themselves, before WWII majority of European Jews lived in Poland and that's a fact.
@@benz500r there were at the start of wwii, approximately 3.4million Jews in Poland - actually in the area known as Pale of Settlement. At the end of the nineteenth century, close to 95 percent of the 5.3 million Jews in the Russian Empire lived in the Pale of Settlement. Must have been something there to draw them to the area.
Nice to hear such comment, in spite of the fact that Poland is acussed by globalists and US to be antisemitic. Do not ever believe all the things the media say! Especially CNN, BBC and German press. The US, UK and Germany were the most antisemitic countries in history. Now all they do is whitewashing inconvenient facts from their history throwing accusations on Poland.
I’m currently on holiday in Krakow and today I visited the area where the Ghetto was. Apart from the square and a little bit of the wall, there is barely anything to say that there was a Ghetto there.
Heartbreaking to look at the wonderful faces of men and women, old and young and to think that probably less than 10% of them (if that many) survived the horror which was to be visited upon them. Dead men walking.
I truly enjoyed this video. It was interesting and informative. But there is a sadness attached to it. I cannot help but wonder if any of these people knew the evil that lurked around the corner. I look at the faces of the men, women and especially the children and my heart cries.
alma6911 yes, of course they knew what Nazi Germany was about and that Germany had already defied the Treaty of Versailles. I do not think they knew how bad it would be, but they knew.
For those who have knowledge of Rabbinic history, at 4:53 the narrator states that the great Rabbi Yaakov Polack, who came to Krakow from Prague and founded the greatest yeshiva of its time there, is buried in the Krakow cemetery. However, it is widely accepted that after emigrating to Israel in 1522 and living in Jerusalem for 10 years, he ultimately returned to Poland and settled in Lublin, where his greatest disciple, Rabbi Shalom Shachna (father-in-law and teacher of the Ramah) lived, and that the very first tombstone that one encounters upon entering the old Lublin cemetery, is that of Rabbi Yaakov Polack, not far from that of Rabbi Shalom Shachna.
How beautiful !!! I knew the story of the trompetter of Krakau, but this is the first time I see it for real. I'm deeply touched by this film, so terrible these times and persons are forever gone !!! Bless you, dear people of Krakau, for always in my heart ! 😥💞🙋🏼♀️🙏✡
@@jacekc6179 Thank you, Jacek! Here in the Netherlands it's always spelled as Krakau. We even had families here who are named:'mr Krakauer'. Are you also from Kraków? Have a nice day today from Holland
Judging by the accent of the narrator, probably an American Jewish organization or simply an anthropological study documenting European/Ashkenazi Jewry.
It is so deeply touching to see closely the great wonderful jewish life that was there before the hiddeous nazis fell upon them and destroyed all of what was jewish there as in most of europe and north africa.
Please have in mind that a lot of antisemitic signs in Kraków are actually related to football (soccer) as the Cracovia football team was originally a Jewish team and its supporters call themselves "Jews" until today ("Jude Gang" to be specific). So, if you see a crossed star of David in Kraków, it is most likely an act of vandalism done by supporters of other teams, especially Wisła Kraków, and not so much an act of antisemitism per se.
@@SaraLevy88 I'm sorry but I can't stand it.Jews always accuse Poles of antisemitism.You not even bother to explain what was it.Do you know that Jews always show antipolonism?You hate Poles for now reason, you don't even hate Germans
Maybe the family of my Mother is from Poland. Nobody told it to me clearly but I have met people with the same name who were originally Polish Jews. We cry when we look at this film because they all were exterminated by Nazis for sure. Devil is against Jews and he turns people's minds to be crazy about them. I saw Muslims hating me in Nice just because I wore a Christian's cross. Because it's written on the horrible book of Evil they obey. How can they follow the negative spirit?! Are they blinds? I pray Holy Spirit he could change their minds.

Which countries in Europe are you comparing it to? There's a reason why Jews wanted to stay in ghettos, even though they could've moved out.

Check historicals facts. Do not believe in nowadays mindstream propaganda.

Priceless video. Thank G-d, someone made this, and it has been saved. Happy New Year!

so what?
It’s an observation. What’s your problem?
@@TheMgt10 well you sound like there should be something reminding the ghetto. feeling dissapointed maybe?
@@KeepHimAtBay Yes !!! it was a part of Polish history . My mother saved 17 Jews from the Ghetto .

Thank for the video💐👍 . I was born i Lodz. Regards from Montreal 💌
@Kabo Torko 🙄❓❓❓
When was the last time you were in Poland? It's one of my favorite countries. Reminds me of the UK back in the 80's.
So sorry to the Jewish people. Such pain and loss.
So sorry to The Polish people. they are loss lot of a member of family too.
It is sad to know that the poor souls seen going about their life in the video had no idea what was around the corner in September the same year.

Kraków.

Actually in English is Cracow.
Perhaps in Dutch it's Krakau???🤔
So heartbreaking that these folk were enjoying life not knowing the horrors that would soon be upon them.😢
part of the writing on the wall at 7:01 and 7:10 is again visible these days, most likely it was uncovered on purpose
Soon after this was filmed, Germany invaded Poland.
With Soviet Union
any body knows the name of the music from minute 2:40?
name of the music?
Who created these films?
Judging by the accent of the narrator, probably an American Jewish organization or simply an anthropological study documenting European/Ashkenazi Jewry.
Wait. The dude at 8:20 with the bro hat.
Beautiful..See awake....
tnx
...opening music is mazur-mazurka dance.....
Nowadays "anti" unfortunately mainly exist as anti-Polonism.
It is so deeply touching to see closely the great wonderful jewish life that was there before the hiddeous nazis fell upon them and destroyed all of what was jewish there as in most of europe and north africa.
I am sorry to say that during a recent visit to Krakow I saw many signs of antisemitism. The scars of the war have nto yet healed
I truly felt it in May. It stained my whole experience, two or three situations that left me speechless.

Probably you accidentally visited some city but for sure not Krakow
What did you see there?

And then..... the Germans came .
Yes, the Germans. Not the Palestinians.
The "deniers" don't like this kind of visual evidences.
Take!
God’s richest blessings on the Nation of Israel.
