Prague Ghetto

The Prague Ghetto, historically known as the Jewish Quarter or Josefov, was an area in Prague where Jewish residents were concentrated, especially during medieval times. It became a designated district with synagogues, a cemetery, and community institutions. Over centuries, it reflected both the rich cultural heritage and periods of persecution Jews faced. Today, it’s a significant historical and tourist site, preserving architecture and artifacts that tell the story of Prague’s Jewish community through centuries of history.
