Jewish Residents
constituted half of Tarnów's population. Orthodox, Hasidic, progressive individuals, members of political and cultural elites, as well as those forming a vibrant working-class or petty-bourgeois layer – the Jewish community was extremely diverse. This diversity was reflected in its religious, political, cultural, and sports institutions. One lasting consequence of the Holocaust is that the rich heritage of Tarnów's Jews still evokes strong emotions today, often suppressed or ignored, making it a challenging legacy.
The Idea
for the game was born out of the need to bring the culture and history of Tarnów's Jewish community closer, piece by piece, to modern residents, tourists, and young people, as it is still present in the city's space. We were supported by the Committee for the Preservation of Jewish Cultural Monuments in Tarnów, the Museum of Tarnów Land, and the Euros Foundation. The website and urban game were funded by the Faculty of International and Political Studies at the Jagiellonian University as part of the Strategic Program - Excellence Initiative.
