Younger people in Poland getting less religious

It was the first time this friend of mine visited me in Krakow. I told him, I would take him to Kazimierz, the Jewish quarter. It was on a Saturday. My friend asked me why bother going there if everything would be closed on the Jewish holy day. I was confused for a minute and then suddenly connected the dots saying: No, my friend! It is indeed called a “Jewish quarter” but not because Jews live there today. It is called so because of the history of that part of the city!

When the war broke out, I did not understand why I had to charge my phone two or three times a day until it suddenly hit me: the phone doesn’t stop ringing and I spend a lot of time talking over it.

As Polish society was heading towards becoming more secular, liberal and Western, the conservative Polish government had decided to fill the country with immigrants that would have been way more traditional.
