Summary – “This Jewish Heritage tour in Lodz is emotional, informative and not to be missed.”
The city of Lodz has been influenced by so many factors. It is of course Polish, but throughout the history, the Germans, Russians and Jewish have all contributed to what the city is today. The Jewish once made up a third of the population in Lodz and outside Warsaw it was one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe.
The Jewish Heritage tour visits many places of Jewish relevance, starting at the biggest Jewish cemetery in Europe on Bracka St. From there the tour heads towards Radegast railway station, which was once the departure point for the death camps in Chelmno and Auschwitz.
The tour passes through a former Jewish ghetto called Litzmannstadt. This place became famous because of Mordechai Chaim Rumkowski, who was head of the Judenrat. You’ll also visit Lodz’s last remaining synagogue. It survived WW2 on because it was turned into a salt storehouse. Today it once again is a place for Jewish religious services. This leads on to the final stop only this journey which is a visit to the palace of Poznanski
