The Krakow Ghetto - a podcast by BBC World Service

The city of Krakow in Poland was home to a large Jewish community before World War II.

But with the arrival of the Nazis many of its Jews were deported, or fled. Then in 1941 a Jewish ghetto was built.

This programme begins with a deeply disturbing recollection.
