Kowea Itim le-Tora Synagogue was an Orthodox Jewish synagogue in Kazimierz, Kraków, Poland. It was built in 1810 and renovated in 1912. The synagogue was devastated during World War II by Nazis. The building now serves as an apartmentbuilding.
AND
The High synagogue is an inactive Orthodox Jewishsynagogue in Kazimierz District of Kraków, Poland. It was called the High (or Tall) Synagogue for many centuries for it was the tallest synagogue in the city, or because the prayer hall was upstairs. In the second half of the 16th century, a wealthy merchant known only as Israel, proposed to King Sigismund II August his request for permission to set up a synagogue. He obtained the agreement and in 1563 he started construction. Other sources state the construction date to the years 1556-1563. According to one hypothesis, the synagogue was built by emigrants - Sephardic Jews, perhaps from Greece or Italy. It appears to be in aRenaissance manner with certain modifications common north of the alps (most notably the tracery, which resembles that of St-Pierre in Caen). It was the third synagogue to be erected in Kazimierz. The prayer rooms were located on the second floor above the ground floor shops. The interior walls of the sanctuary featured paintings of scenes in Jerusalem, including the "Tomb of the Israelite Kings," "Western Wall," and a handsome pair of lions in the women's gallery.

Unlike Uzbekistan or Tajikistan, Kazakhstan doesn't have very old Jewish "historical" communities. However, this country was an important land of exile or asylum in the 20th century.

#Reposting these feels from @Jewish_Chick on the somber occasion of #YomHaShoah... "For the 6 million who were slaughtered before me, for just being a Jew.
I refuse to be silent.
I refuse to be timid.
I refuse to be blind.
For the 6 million who were slaughtered before me, for just being a Jew." #DoubleTap to honor the memory of those who were slaughtered, and the struggles of those who survived.

The New Jewish Cemetery in Kraków, Poland covers an area of about 4.5 hectares. It is located at Miodowa 55–58 Street, in the historic Jewish neighborhood of Kazimierz. The two other cemeteries formed the site of the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp during the Holocaust and no longer exist. The Jews from the Kraków Ghetto were sent there
Following the Nazi invasion of Poland in World War II, the New Cemetery was closed to outsiders and the Germans sold the most valuable stonework to local masons. Other headstones, as well as slabs, were turned into construction material and used for paving the supply road to the camp, including the courtyard of commandant Amon Göth, who is known for having insisted that the Jews pay for their own executions. Meanwhile, the old bones at the cemetery were often left uncovered and scattered around in what looked like an open-pit mine. Caretaker Pina Ladner, who used to live on premises, was sent to Płaszów beforehand, and shot.
Soon after the war ended, a local civil engineer identified only as Mr. Stendig, likely Jakub Stendig, a camp survivor, recovered many tombstones from the Płaszów camp site, and arranged to have them reinstalled at the New Cemetery.
The New Jewish Cemetery features a renovated brick mortuary hall from 1903, as well as the postwar lapidary memorial fitted with old headstones and crowned with a block of black marble. The cemetery contains over 10,000 tombs, the oldest dating from 1809. There are many monuments commemorating the death of Jews killed during the Holocaust.

Today we start learning about Ethiopian Jews. Since they have a very rich history and culture I will make multiple posts about them as well.
