-note Ellen's perpetual pose--In 1335 Casimir the Great established the town of Kazimierz (named after him.) When the Jewish community was expelled from Krakow in 1495, as scapegoats for a major fire, they settled in Kazimierz. By 1800, when Kazimierz was incorporated into Krakow, Jews made up about one-third of its population. During WWII, the entire Jewish population was moved to the Podgorze Ghetto and then annihilated by the Nazis.
