Even though Tarn\u00f3w\u2019s Jewish community was virtually wiped out during the Holocaust, Jews are thought to have settled in the city in the mid-15th century, accounting for almost half of the local population at some point.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Located some 90 km east of Krakow, Tarn\u00f3w\u2019s name first appeared in a document in the 12th century. Destroyed by fire, it was later rebuilt and became an important cultural and industrial centre in the 16th century under the avant-garde nobleman Jan Tarnowski, a golden age which earned it the nickname of \u201cPearl of the Renaissance\u201d.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Passing under Austrian rule following the first partition of Poland in 1772, it became the first Polish city to reclaim independence in 1918 after over a century of foreign occupation. Some historians also claim that Tarn\u00f3w is where World War II really started, a few days before Nazi Germany\u2019s actual invasion of Poland, when German forces detonated explosives in the city\u2019s train station killing 20 people and injuring dozens more, on August 28, 1939.<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p>More on:<a href=\"https:\/\/kafkadesk.org\/2021\/11\/08\/poland-tarnow-ranked-among-europes-most-beautiful-towns\/\"> https:\/\/kafkadesk.org\/2021\/11\/08\/poland-tarnow-ranked-among-europes-most-beautiful-towns\/<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Warsaw, Poland \u2013 The south-eastern Polish city of Tarn\u00f3w has been ranked among the most beautiful towns in Europe in CNN\u2019s new travel ranking. \u201cParis, Rome, Barcelona\u2026 Europe\u2019s cities are [&hellip;]","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1247],"tags":[3068,1406],"class_list":["post-214218","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-awards","tag-tarnow-en"],"acf":{"article_short_description":"","app_dont_show":false,"old_id":"","rooms_info":"","old_object_id":"","old_parent_id":"","old_url":"","top_column":"","left_column":"","right_column":"","bottom_column":"","show_children":"","class":"","type":"","skip_import":false,"_menu_related_id":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.4 (Yoast SEO v25.4) -
