The exhibition "Kroke | Orthodox Jews in Cracow" offers a profound glimpse into the rich tapestry of Kraków's Orthodox Jewish community. Agnieszka Traczewska's meticulous 15-year photographic endeavour has forged a remarkable collective portrait, showcasing vibrant Jewish celebrations, intimate prayers, kosher practices, and Shabbat festivities. Kraków's historical significance in Polish-Jewish heritage is pivotal, dating back to the 11th century. Once a thriving hub of Jewish culture, the devastation of World War II decimated the community, leaving a poignant legacy. "Kroke" pays homage to this heritage, underscoring the resilience of a community that perseveres amidst the shadows of history.
