The
Jewish Culture Festival in Kraków (, ) is an annual cultural event organized since 1988 in the once
Jewish district of
Kazimierz (part of
Kraków) by the Jewish Culture Festival Society headed by Janusz Makuch, a self-described
meshugeneh, fascinated with all things Jewish. The main goal of the festival is to educate people about
Jewish culture, history and faith (
Judaism), which flourished in
Poland before
the Holocaust, as well as to familiarize them with modern Jewish culture developing mostly in the
United States and
Israel, and finally, to provide entertainment.
