Cracow is the most famous of those 3 as a tourist destination I guess.

I have roots from around Gdansk, but I’ve never been there. I also don’t know much about these “inner” Polish cities, but I think I’d go for Warsaw.

Oh, I see. Well, I did not refer to genetics, for God sake.
In any case I am not very good expert in these regions/countries.

Krakow is the most touristic, voted for it because I don't know much about Central Europe.

It's the farthest (geographically), and it is in Ukraine.

Poznań could be the 2nd largest city in Poland after Warsaw if its current mayor's project from 2015 of incorporatong neighbouring municipalities into the city becomes reality.

Voted Krakow, but I prefer Wroclaw from the looks of it.

Poznań because it’s closest to where some ancestors came from.

My great great grandparents were from Bolimow (Lodz), Żyrardów, (village in between Lodz and Warsaw) and Poznan so I like all of them equally.

Nice! Especially Lodz was a major Jewish city (in 1931 - 202,497 Jews out of 604,629 inhabitants, higher % than in Warsaw):

Do you know "Ziemia Obiecana" ("Promised Land"), a novel by W. Reymont and a movie by A. Wajda? It is about 1800s Lodz:


Set in the industrial city of Łódź, The Promised Land tells the story of a Pole, a German, and a Jew struggling to build a factory in the raw world of 19th-century capitalism.

If I were to choose one city where we should invite Jews to revive a Jewish community, I would most likely pick Lodz.

Interesting stuff, including that book. Never heard of it before, thanks, I might give it a read :)

I picked Krakow, but Poznan is also interesting, it is a twin city with mine.
