17:39Join us and John Paul in Prague, as he returns to explore the Jewish Quarter with us, a district perhaps more famous than the city itself. The four important synagogues we'll visit speak to a different time in history, before the Third Reich and the Holocaust decimated the thriving community which had existed for a 1,000 years, one of the oldest Jewish communities in Europe. It’s impossible not to speak to that momentous moment in human history and its impact on Jewish Prague, but we’ll be focusing on the time before and after those dark days. We’ll see Franz Kafka’s house and statue, we’ll hear the legend of the Golem which defended the community from anti-Semitic attacks, and through John Pauls’ excellent live stream guiding skills, we’ll immerse ourselves together in one of the most interesting and special places in the world.
