The Nissenbaum Foundation Memorial

This memorial is dedicated to preserving the memory of Jewish communities destroyed during the Holocaust. The Nissenbaum Foundation Memorial is located in the heart of Kraków’s historic Kazimierz district, dedicated to preserving the memory of the Jewish community in the city. The memorial is named after the Nissenbaum family, who were prominent in the Jewish community before World War II. It was established to honor their legacy and to pay tribute to the Jewish lives lost during the Holocaust. The foundation is focused on cultural preservation and the promotion of Jewish heritage through educational and commemorative projects.

The memorial features a range of exhibitions, including art and historical displays, that explore the rich history of the Jewish community in Kraków, highlighting their contributions to the city’s culture. The Nissenbaum Foundation also works to ensure that the memory of Kraków’s Jewish population, who were decimated during the war, continues to be honored. The space also functions as a meeting point for Jewish cultural events, lectures, and gatherings that celebrate Jewish history.
