Our tour guide Gavel gave us an in-depth historical tour of Jewish Warsaw. This was extremely important to my understanding of Warsaw's very recent history. What once was a huge part of culture in Warsaw, the Jewish community, is now very small, and this happened so recently. This tour is crucial to realize what has been nearly eliminated from a city, which may go unnoticed without the tour. Highly recommend it. And Gavel is an extremely nice and intelligent person. Thanks!
