Józefa Street. The return from the prayer.
Photo Tadeusz Przypkowski, around 1930.
"On the festive days Kazimierz become quieter and calms down. The Jews dressed in long gaberdines, in hats hemmed with fox fur, walk in the streets. The synagogues get filled with praying people. The Jewish town creates a strange, not devoid of charm, picture..." wrote Karol Estreicher. On the photograph - the group of pious Jews in traditional attires, who return from the religious service.

The flea market in Szeroka Street.
Photo Photographical Agency "?wiatowid", around 1930.
Karol Estreicher in "The guidebook for those visiting the town and its surroundings" (published in 1938) wrote about Kazimierz from those days in that way: " At present Kazimierz is a typical example of a trade ghetto. The living here Jewish people are usually poor. The more rich ones are merchants, the poorer - agents or minor salesmen. The most poor busy themselves with artisanship or selling of junk. [...] On Tuesdays and Fridays the flea market take place in Szeroka Street".
On our photograph there are women with armfuls of clothes designed for selling. Further - the gate leading to the yard next to Remu Synagogue.

The today's street was marked out when the historical bed of the Vistula River was filled. The Old Vistula was slowly becoming the drying-out, malarial marshes. In 1878 the bed of the Old Vistula started to become filled and at the same time the street was being bricked. The monumental town planing guidelines included the wide lane of greenery with two parallel walking alleys, lines of trees and flower beds as well as two strips of the road. The event took place at the time of Józef Dietl presidency and as soon as in 1879 the street got it present name. The composition, very modern as for those days, remained unchanged until 1970. In that year the route of tramway communication was built there and because of that the lane of greenery was devastated. At present it is the lawn next to the tracks and a few remaining trees.

Henia Karmel and Ilona Karmel were born to a distinguished Jewish family in Krakow. The family, now assimilated into the surrounding culture, came from a prominent line of scholars, poets, and rabbis. The girls were given a top education in standard government schools as well as a Hebrew gymnasium. They spoke Yiddish, Polish, and German, and they read Hebrew and the Western classics as well as contemporary Polish poets.

In 1943, when the sisters were 17 and 20 years old, they were sent to Nazi forced labor camps—first, Skarzysko-Kamienna and then HASAG-Buchenwald—where they wrote...poems, now translated into English...
