 we're here only for an afternoon; friend Domicela gives us a quick and dense tour |
 the former Zasanie synagogue west of the San river, now empty |
 a view up Grunwaldzka street, where Rauchers once lived |
 at the 'new' Jewish cememery with Domicela |
 |
 Rauchers were buried somewhere here in the 19th-c. |
 |
 a memorial to Jews killed during the war |
 |
 |
 another memorial |
 the grave of Domicela's father |
 |
 at the 'old' Jewish cemetery; the entrance gate is all that remains |
 most was destroyed by Nazis during the war, the rest later |
 the former Jewish hospital in front of the cemetery |
 the Greek Catholic seminary and chapel, returned to the church in 1992 |
 the New synagogue, built in 1918, now a public library |
 the alleys surrounding the library are well-decorated... |
 |
 |
 walking the old Jewish neighborhood behind the synagogue |
 a former Jewish theatre and community building |
 |
 heading back toward the river |
 the site of the former Old (16th-c.) synagogue, destroyed by Nazis in 1939 and 1941... |
 ...but some recognition of Przemysl's Jewish past is nearby |
 walking up Franciszkanska street... |
 |
 a late baroque Franciscan church |
 |
 a 15th-c. townhouse, on the rynek |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 the cathedral of St. John the Baptist |
 we start to climb up Castle Hill... |
 at the top, overlooking the city, the remains of Kazimierz castle |
 some historic parts are being rehabilitated now |
 the views from the hill are nice... |
 |
 ...as is the walk thru the castle park |
 lots of late 19th-c. buildings in this area |
 |
 |
 |
 heading back toward the downtown |
 |
 a bridge across the San river |
 |
 walking part of the wartime ghetto area, some buildings are witnesses |
 this kindergarten housed the Judenrat during the war |
 a memorial map of the ghetto boundaries |
 and then it's time to bid Domicela and Przemysl farewell... |
