“If You Build it They Will Come”: Recreating an Historic Jewish District in Post–Communist Kraków
Author(s): Kugelmass, Jack; Orla–Bukowska, Annamaria

Abstract: As Poland completes the privatization of its economy and attracts increasing foreign investment, a district such as the Kazimierz section of Krakow faces a new dilemma–how best to regulate new construction and renovations in order to preserve its historic character. The largest intact and unrestored former-Jewish quarter in Europe, the area has considerable international significance, and particularly now as foreign Jews visit Poland in increasing numbers searching for the remains of pre-war Jewish life while Christian and Jewish Poles seek some way to restore the past, to undo the ravages of Nazi occupation and forty years of communism.
