Strolling around the Jewish Ghetto, the tragic destiny of the Jews becomes alive again as you discover the important milestones in the history of Prague Jews: the first settlement, the Pogroms, the Nazi holocaust… It reveals the story of the five synagogues, which survived World War II, the Old-New Synagogue, still in use, and the Old Jewish Cemetery. Set amid the back alleys the tale of Ashkenazis allows us to compare them with Sephardims. We might even meet the Golem, an artificial man created by Rabbi Löw. Visiting the birthplace of the Jewish writer Franz Kafka, who was deeply influenced by the city, you discover how Prague can be “loved and hated” at the same time. |
