Jewish Warsaw & Stories from the Ghetto – Free Walking Tour
Overview
At Grzybowski Square, you will be introduced to the history of Jewish presence and vibrant pre-war life in the city. Moving forward, you will see the Nożyk Synagogue – the only synagogue in Warsaw that survived the war. Along the way, you will discover stories of courage – silent heroes like Janusz Korczak or the staff of Bersohn and Bauman Children's Hospital.
You will visit the Ghetto Walls and Waliców Street, which remain in today's city, silent witnesses. We'll end the tour at the site of the wooden footbridge on Chłodna Street, a haunting symbol of separation between the small and large ghettos and between two worlds – Jewish and non-Jewish. Here you will uncover the story of the "Great Action" of 1942.
Join me for a walk – a journey through the darkest chapter of Warsaw's history – that erased a community and left behind memories.
This activity includes:
- A Footbridge Of Memory
- Grzybowski Square
