Song from main article[edit]

I removed this section from the main article, it was mostly in Polish and even the english doesn't make a lot of sense :) I'm not sure it is necessary for the main article anyway, but I put it here in case someone wanted to clean it up and thinks it would add significantly to the main article.--Fxer 16:51, August 9, 2005 (UTC)

Germans made children work making envelopes. Parents thought it will save them. There were children performances.

 I was in one of those performances. The following are the words (in Polish) of a song sung in the Krakow Ghetto:

Chodze w pijamie po mojej mamie
i nosze spinki od panniej Minki
Na butach lakier czapke na bakier 
zerwane szelki dwie kamizelki
a gdy mnie zdradzisz to w rospacz wpadne
husteczka w kropki ocieram lzy.
Pacz Janek pacz gdzie lawek trzeci zad, panienka oczkiem szczela jak dobrze widziec z tad  
Panienka mala co sie zakochala ale w kim? we mnie nie we mnie tez nie
Bosmy dwaj andrusy z pod gheta.

Sources[edit]

There is literally one book about this event. We are starved for sources. lots of issues | leave me a message 07:48, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It seems there are plenty if we google it! Though, of course, all internet sources must be taken with a pinch of salt. Mark Lewis 14:52, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Operation Reinhard[edit]

Was the liquidation of this ghetto part of the larger operation of liquidating all Jews in the General Government? This article does not make clear that Reinhard was the Final Solution when the Nazis sent victims straight to death camps to be murdered. I note that some Jews were deported to the Labor Camp ran by Goeth. Was that part of the Nazi substitution policy implemented to obtain workers for the Reich, or is the entire destruction of Krakow ghetto just outside the remit of Aktion Reinhard? For this to be a good article these distinctions should be made! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.150.225.8 (talk) 12:36, 13 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A & B Ghettos[edit]

At the end of the section on the formation of the ghetto, it mentions an A and a B ghetto. The next section discusses the history of the ghetto but doesn't mention anything about the A and B ghettos at all, but it sounds like they were quite different. Maybe there should be a little section that discusses the difference between the 2, it could be in the history section. Cmcilwee (talk) 18:12, 4 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In 1940 Edward Mosberg, at the time 14 years old, and his immediate family, grandparents, cousins, and aunt were moved into one small apartment in the Kraków Ghetto.^[1]^[2] In 1942, his grandmother, aunts, and cousins were deported from it to Belzec concentration camp in German-occupied Poland.^[2] In 1943, the Kraków Ghetto was liquidated, and the remaining Mosberg family was moved to the Kraków-Płaszów concentration camp in Płaszów just south of Kraków, a Nazi concentration camp operated by the SS, which had been constructed on the grounds of two former Jewish cemeteries.^[1] 2603:7000:2143:8500:1504:385B:BEAE:C2F5 (talk) 06:09, 19 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ghetto History[edit]

The 'Ghetto History' section largely repeats the previous section, 'Formation of the Kraków Ghetto'. I think it would be worthwhile to either make the two sections have distinct purposes, or to merge the two into a single section. In my view, the 'Ghetto History' section is written in a less encyclopedic style, but still has some useful information and citations. 165.1.216.106 (talk) 15:10, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect Conversion of kg to pounds[edit]

In paragraph 4, it's written "Jews forced to leave were also only allowed to bring along 25 kg (62½ lbs.) of their belongings ..." 25 kg is more like 55 pounds. If reference 8 says 25 kg is 62 pounds, it is wrong and should not be cited. 2601:645:501:ABF0:E9D6:E506:3C6F:5647 (talk) 19:32, 13 March 2023 (UTC) Why not just leave it at, "Jews forced to leave were also only allowed to bring along 25 kg of their belongings ..." Most people know what a kilogram is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:645:501:ABF0:E9D6:E506:3C6F:5647 (talk) 19:55, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
