Jewish Culture Festival in Kraków: what Wikipedia removed
The Jewish Culture Festival in Kraków is an annual event held in the city’s former Jewish district since 1988. In 2005 the opening described the festival’s purpose as “a way to prevent or fight anti-Semitism.” Today the opening says the festival’s goal is to educate people about Jewish culture, history and faith, and the word appears nowhere in the article. A reader today does not learn that the festival was described as a way to fight antisemitism.
The word “antisemitism” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2005. Today it appears nowhere in the article at all, references included. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
