Private guide in Prague
Jewish Quarter
Named
after the Emperor Josef II, whose reforms helped to ease living
conditions for Jews, the Jewish Quarter contains the remains of
Prague's former Jewish ghetto. As many Jews died during
WWII or were forced to leave the country by the
communist regime, the current Jewish community of Prague
includes 2000 people. There are two figures synonymous with this
part of the city, Franz Kafka and the mystical
Humunculus Golem created by Jehuda ben Bezalel, and also
known as Rabi Löw
Jewish
Museum consists of 6 synagogues: Pinkas, Spanish, Klausen,
Old-New, Maisel, and High Synagogue. The Old Jewish cemetery, which
has 12.000 tombstones, dates from the 15th century.
