Bookshop and exhibition space of the Galicia Jewish Museum

Until the end of the 18th century, the building at ul. Józefa 12 was outside the so-called "Jewish Town", a small area separated by a wall from the Christian part of Kazimierz.

In the second half of the 19th century, the Fendler family appeared as property owners. The documents signed by them show that apart from a residential function, a number of other buildings were supposed to be performed by them, including a place to bake cakes or vats for the fish trade. After the creation of a ghetto in Krakow, in the place of today's Kazimierz district, all people living in the building were displaced, and in '42 the place was taken over by the occupiers. Now, the Jewish Museum is returning to the roots of the site and provides visitors with an exhibition space and a bookstore with publications in various languages on the culture and history of Jews.
