> It starts with an overview of Polish-Jewish interaction over a thousand
years from Ibrahim-ibn-Yakub, a Jewish-Arab traveller-merchant-diplomat from
Spain who in 965 AD was the first to mention a town named Kracko all the way
to the Holocaust.
> It then continues from prehistoric legends to specific details about
Krakovian Jewish courtiers serving King Casimir the Great around 1350 and
Polish Renaissance Queens Elizabeth of Bohemia and Bona Sforza around 1550,
all at the royal court in Krakow.
> The rest of the book details the history of Krakow Jewry as illuminated by
the specific lives and genealogy of my Aleksandrowicz forebears and their
friends and neighbors,to my own experiences as a child in Krakow (1925-1943)
and my survival in the Ghetto, the camps in Plaszow, Mauthausen, Melk and
Ebensee. It is quite long and but then I worked on it for 13 years.
