Overview
The city of WROCŁAW, compared to other Polish cities, has a completely different history. It symbolizes the fascinating but at the same time tragic history of the 20th century in Europe. Since 1871, one of the most important cities in reunified Germany - Breslau - had the third largest community of Jewish inhabitants. During the Second World War, it became a fortress, one of the last points of the resistance of the Third Reich, which later become Polish Wrocław.
During the tour, we will discover the Jewish quarter along with the White Stork Synagogue. You will learn about the fascinating economic flourishing of the community and its persecution during the Nazi dictatorship. The second part of the tour will show you a broad scenario of the times of the reconstruction of the city, in a new political environment, under the Polish administration and the communist party rule. You will also learn about the important aspects of the Second World War for the new inhabitants. This interesting mix makes the tour the best introduction to the complex central European historical legacy helping to understand the essence of what makes up the city of WROCŁAW.
