Twarda 6, 00-950 Warschau, Polen
Description
There was a time when one-third of Warsaw’s residents considered themselves Jewish. A time when Warsaw was home to Europe’s largest Jewish population.
The Second World War brought a devastating end to it all.
Embark on a journey through nearly 1,000 years of Jewish history in Poland and Warsaw—from their arrival and expansion to their tragic and heroic struggle and their quiet renaissance.
Join this walking tour if you would like to discover how and why Jews settled in Poland; explore the few remaining places that still remind us of the city’s once-thriving Jewish presence; hear the heartbreaking first-hand accounts of Jews who survived life in the ghetto; understand why Jews launched the 1943 Jewish uprising despite knowing they would fail; and learn about the current situation of Warsaw’s Jewish community.
Don’t just visit Warsaw—discover it!
