Summary –“A tour that takes you back to the Jewish roots in Warsaw.”
Warsaw had the largest number of Jewish inhabitants in the world before the eve of WWII. And although their heritage was almost annihilated by the Nazis in 1944 when almost all of central Warsaw became a field of rubble, there are still several hidden traces of Jewish culture and history left standing.
During the tour you will visit the Monument to the Warsaw Ghetto Heroes that expresses the tragedy of the Ghetto, the place where the German chancellor, Willy Brandt, unexpectedly knelt down in 1970, Zamenhofa Street, the remains that are left of Nalewki Street – which once teemed of business life, Mila Street which includes the bunker where the commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Mordechai Anielewicz had committed suicide, the Umschlagplatz Wall from where 300,000 people were deported in cattle trucks for Treblinka death camp in 1942 (They were gassed upon arrival).
The tour then passes the only remaining synagogue in Warsaw – Nozyk Synagogue, the Jewish Theatre which is the only professional Yiddish-language theatre in Europe and the Jewish Cemetery where Zamenhof (the creator of Esperanto languge) is buried.
Finally the tours visits the former Orphanage of Dr. Janusz Korczak, the man who refused to be saved and instead accompanied his Jewish children to meet his death in Treblinka.
