Description:Discusses the history and fate of the Jews in Kraków during the Nazi occupation, focusing on individual experiences. The account is based on numerous diaries, memoirs, and documents in German, Polish, and English, and is accompanied by photographs and excerpts from the sources. Traces the persecution which began with the German invasion in 1939 and the initiation of anti-Jewish measures (e.g. bank accounts were frozen, cars and motorcycles confiscated, gold, silver, and cash requisitioned). Describes the forced labor imposed on internees, and later the forced displacement of most of the 65,000 Jewish residents of Kraków in 1940-41 to other towns in the region. Ca. 10,000 were crowded into the ghetto in 1941, supplemented by several thousand from neighboring communities. In June 1942 the deportations began to Belżec. In March 1943 the ghetto was liquidated; those able to work were moved to the Płaszów labor camp. Relates briefly to the case of Oskar Schindler, who employed Jews in his enamel factory, rescuing ca. 1,100 from death in the camps.
