Guided tour by Tomasz Cebulski - Jewish life in Kraków and Kazimierz - drone film for CENTROPA 2021.

A documentary film for the 15th Centropa Summer Academy 2021, produced by Sky Heritage Pictures and Tomasz Cebulski. Held in a form of a short guided tour though the most important Jewish sites surviving in Krakow, this film offers a unique historical narrative on Jewish life in Cracow and Kazimierz before and after the Holocaust. Kazimierz is presented as a globally unique, coherently surviving medieval Jewish district with seven synagogues, two Jewish cemeteries, multiple prayer houses and most importantly a contemporary active Jewish community with several institutions. The camera and narrative guides the viewer through the Old synagogue, Remah synagogue and cemetery , Temple synagogue and Kupa synagogue. The film offers a unique vantage point on Kazimierz and Krakow by using drone film footage enriched with historical films and pictures from before 1939.
The middle section of the film tells the story of Holocaust survivor Teofila Silberring by showing the places and sites connected to her childhood and WW II survival in Krakow.
Narrated by Tomasz Cebulski, PhD and containing interviews with historian Prof. Edyta Gawron and the director of the Galicia Jewish Museum, Jakub Nowakowski, the film makes an excellent introduction to the history of Krakow Jewry and can be used as classroom teaching material for grasping the context of local Jewish history in relation with historic landmarks and sites of memory.
