Very nice and refreshing read. I'm born in Kraków (now living elsewhere) and I read your story for curiosity what would the reception of the town be, these days, from the standpoint of a foreign Jewish visitor. I'm glad your tour was positive, and also learned a lot.
Kraków is a good starting point, I think, because it's pleasant and has tourism infrastructure. If you ever come for a second time, I invite you do look beyond, and my advice (contrary to most people in Kraków) would be, definitely, Silesia, just an hour west. I wrote something on it. Stay well! https://nomadicmind.substack.com/p/silesia-the-other-poland
Thank you, Pablo! We actually considered going to Katowice but chose a couple of days in Warsaw instead. Thank you for your piece, which makes a very compelling case, and thank you so much for reading!
