Description
The tour begins with a visit to the Nożyk Synagogue, the only synagogue in Warsaw to survive World War II. It still functions as a synagogue and is open for the city’s Jewish community.
We’ll then see the wall that separated the Jewish ghetto from the city, and continue on to Chłodna Street, where there was a bridge linking the large and small ghettos. We’ll also go to the orphanage that was run by Doctor Korczak prior to World War II.
Our tour would not be complete without visit to the Jewish Cemetery, where thousands of Polish Jews are buried. Here, we’ll also tell you about Jewish burial traditions.
Our next stop will be Umschlagplazt, which was the point from which thousands of Polish Jews were taken from Warsaw to the Treblinka extermination camp. We’ll walk along the Path of Remembrance to the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes.
Finally, we’ll visit the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews. In 2016, it received the European Museum of the Year Award (EMYA). It’s an excellent museum that shouldn’t be missed.
