= Krakow Ghetto Jewish Council (Judenrat) = The Krakow (also spelled Cracow) Jewish Council (or in German pronounced: Judenrat) was a Jewish administrative council in the Krakow Ghetto established in Podgo'rze district of Krakow. The Judenrat's formation was mandated by the Nazi administration officials, which demanded that these councils be formed in the German occupied Polish provinces (Warsaw, Radom, Lublin, and Cracow), and eventually was extended to include Eastern Galicia when it was incorporated into the General Government.

Along with other Judenrats in the central government, the Krakow Ghetto Jewish Council was established by order of Hans Frank on November 28th, 1939. While most other Judenrats were mandated to be called Judenrats by the Nazis, in Krakow the security police demanded them to change their name from "Jewish Religious Community" to "Jewish Community". While most ghettos are in charge of control over the ghetto in which they are situated, there was a plan by the Krakow Judenrat to become a central Judenrat, and as described in a letter to one of the Jewish Councils in the Krakow district, and presumadely to all ghettos in the district, the Krakow Judenrat would be the central representation of all the Jews in that district in order to coordinate efforts to maintain Jewish interests.
