"Things to buy in Kazimierz" is a series of ten letters, lists, and short essays, each one very different from the other, written by the artist Hadassa Goldvicht, that were sent out once a day, during the days of the 31st Jewish Culture Festival, Krakow.

​

The letters can now be read on this website, and links to each letter 1-10 can be found of the top of this page.

Throughout the letters, Goldvicht shares the story of her grandfather, Pinchas Rosenberg, and explores delicate moments of motherhood, love, silence, and grief.

​

The piece is also an unusual tour of Krakow's Kazimierz district, looking at some aspects of its economy, and tracing the way Kazimierz functions as a portal of sorts, transforming and transporting its visitors.

​

“Things to buy in Kazimierz” is part of the public art programme “Maiseh” (25.6.22-3.7.22) , 31th Jewish Culture Festival, Krakow, in which artists from Israel, Germany and Poland tell their version of legends from Krakow. Follow their stories as they unfold in the streets of Kazimierz.
