BBC News, Krakow, Poland
Poland was home to one of the largest and most important Jewish communities in the world before World War II.
Ninety percent of that community was wiped out by the Nazis in the Holocaust.
A new rabbi has been appointed to rebuild the Jewish community in the Polish city of Krakow
Avraham Flaks, at the age of 38, has become Krakow's first rabbi since the Holocaust. It should be the dream posting. The southern Polish city has been a centre of Jewish scholarship for more than 700 years. On the eve of the Second World War, it was a thriving home to some 60,000 Jews - a quarter of the city's population.
