Krakow

Kraków; Sources of Information for Jewish Genealogy and History, by British researcher Geoffrey Weisgard, will be of interest to readers who are researching their ancestors from Kraków and the surrounding area. The book covers Kraków between 1790 and 1939 as well as locations throughout Western Galicia. Information is included about towns, villages and shtetlach within 20 miles of the city, some of which had virtually no Jewish population before the Holocaust, but were nevertheless places of temporary refuge during the Holocaust itself. This is a reference book for genealogists researching Jewish history in Krakow, Poland and the area.
