Day One - Poland - Kazimierz Quarter

After our time viewing the camps, it only seemed right that we rush back to the Jewish Quarter (Kazimierz) to visit the Old Synagogue built in the 15th Century. Today, it houses the Jewish Museum.  Only one of the six historical Synagogues, Remu'h Synagogue, in Krakow is a 'working' place of worship. The others are now museums.
