    Former Jewish Orphanage on Dietla Street

    She directed and extensively rebuilt the orphanage while organizing care for Jewish children in Kraków.

  • Burial place

    New Jewish Cemetery

    Founded in 1800, this cemetery became the resting place of rabbis, artists, photographers and civic leaders from modern Jewish Kraków. German occupiers devastated it and removed gravestones for sale or reuse, while postwar survivors recovered stones from Płaszów and assembled a lapidary memorial; it remains an active cemetery today.
