The Jewish Culture Trail
(um)
The Jewish Culture Trail The Trial was financed by the Silesian Voyvodship Authority and the Local Authority of the town ?arki. The town of ?arki is closely connected with the Jewish culture as since the 17th C. till the World War II it was the place where the Jewish were the mayority of the town population. The town of ?arki is the only place in the north of the Kraków-Cz?stochowa upland where we still can see some remains of the Jewish culture- The Jewish temple, the Jewish cementary called ?Kirkut? and the characteristic urban centre- tenant houses. The urban centre is called the Old Town and it used to be the main livingplace of the Jewish. Today there are still some people who call the town the Jewish ?arki. The Jewish main incomes were connected with trade and handcraft especially shoemaking. Their products were exported mainly to Silesia, the south and the north of Poland. The tradition of producing shoes has been continued till now. In the 19th C. ?arki was the one of industrial towns which was the main reason for the Jewish settlement. In 1827 the Jewish population was 702 (27,3% of the poulation of ?arki), in 1857-154 (54,2%), in 1864-2291 (61%), in 1921-2536 (57,6%).
