Additional Information

In this guided tour, we will explore historical sites connected with the Jewish community, which accounted for 30% of Warsaw’s population before World War II. We will view the lingering traces of the former ghetto walls, an installation displaying the bridge that linked the smaller and larger ghettos, and monuments honouring the heroes of the Warsaw ghetto. We will visit Umschlagplatz, the departure point for Jews who were tragically deported to the Treblinka extermination camp in 1942. We will also see the functioning Jewish cemetery, and the Nozyk Synagogue, the sole survivor of the war. Additionally, we will visit the Jewish Historical Institute, the pre-war Judaistic Library, and the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, also known as Polin.

Don't recommend - Tour Guide was knowledgeable but kept going to places she wanted to take us instead of places we wanted to go. Drove extremely slow and wanted to extend the time to receive more money waiting until the end to take us where we wanted to go to extend the time.
