The slice of Staré Město bounded by Kaprova, Dlouhá and Kozí sts is home to
the remains of the once-thriving minitown of Josefov, Prague's former Jewish
ghetto. The museum encompasses half a dozen ancient synagogues, a ceremonial hall
and former mortuary, and the powerful melancholy of the Old Jewish Cemetery.
These exhibits tell the often tragic and moving story of Prague's Jewish community,
from the 16th-century creator of the Golem, Rabbi Loew, to the horrors of Nazi perse-
cution.
