Katowice played an important role in the foundation of the
Zionist movement. In Nov 1884 the convention was gathered.
Influential leaders like Leib Pinsker and Rabi Mohilever and other
begin the organized HOVEVEI TZION" movement. See the plate which
exist in Katowice.

Krakow and Katowice are only 80 kilometers apart. If they
have the choice, nine out of ten tourists will probably choose
Krakow; I am the one who goes to Katowice. Katowice doesn't have
a medieval old town and there aren't excursions to Auschwitz on
every corner, but the city has other highlights. The
exceptionally good restaurant Śląska Prohibicja [Silesian
Prohibition] advertises it like this:
"Conquest of space! This is the goal of the inhabitants of
the world in the middle of the 20th century. After all, the
race of powers was also held in the dark blue skies. Katowice
is being built anew. All over again - in space style! Gagarin
is greeted with flowers in Katowice by crowds and astral
buildings are erected on empty squares. Spodek [UFO] lands in
our city! [...] The new trend inspires architects working to
expand the city. One after another, buildings are being built
that refer to the astral current."
From the interstellar heights down to the lowlands of the
Silesian coal mines: The Silesian Prohibition is not in the
center, but in the middle of Nikiszowiec. This is a very
well-preserved listed miners' settlement in the east of the
city, with original brick buildings from the early 20th century.
The contrasts are what make the town so charming. The individual
tourist who has chosen Katowice over Krakow will definitely not
regret their decision.
