Hola, me llamo Magda. Soy guía turística oficial de origen polaco-judío en Varsovia. Me gradué en Estudios Hebreos por la Universidad de Varsovia y tengo experiencia investigando y presentando la historia polaco-judía. Mi enfoque se nutre de mi formación académica, mi trabajo en educación y edición, y mi compromiso con una narración responsable. Con raíces tanto judías como polacas, mi objetivo es ofrecer a los visitantes una perspectiva precisa de la historia y la cultura de la comunidad judía de Varsovia. Mi historia familiar está profundamente ligada a la Varsovia judía. Mi abuela nació durante la guerra en el Gueto de Varsovia y sobrevivió al Holocausto, criada en una familia católica. Conocer nuestras raíces judías me impulsó a explorar mi identidad, estudiar la compleja historia de Europa y comprender la relación entre polacos y judíos, tanto en el pasado como en el presente. Como una de las pocas personas judías polacas que viven actualmente en Varsovia, mi objetivo es ofrecer a mis visitantes una voz auténtica. Les invito no solo a visitar lugares, sino también a hacer preguntas, participar en debates y reflexionar juntos. He creado este recorrido para compartir historias familiares y abordar las preocupaciones sobre la comercialización de la historia y el deterioro de los estándares turísticos. Han aparecido relatos de baja calidad o problemáticos, y los historiadores instan a los educadores a asumir la responsabilidad de enseñar sobre el antisemitismo, el fascismo y las amenazas a la democracia. En una profesión que depende de la satisfacción del cliente, existe la presión de decirles a los visitantes solo lo que quieren oír. Con demasiada frecuencia, las voces judías se silencian o la historia se cuenta únicamente desde la perspectiva polaca. Mi objetivo es compartir una historia más completa y honesta, incluso si eso implica abordar temas difíciles.
We had a great walking tour exploring the Jewish history of Warsaw. The experience was engaging and covered places, stories, and historical details that we had never known about, despite living in Warsaw. The route was very well designed and brought to life a part of the city’s past. We particularly appreciated learning about places that no longer exist and the traces of history that remain hidden beneath the modern city. Through Magda’s explanations, we gained a deeper understanding of Warsaw’s Jewish history just before, during and after WWII. Magda is very knowledgeable and shared the history in an accessible way. The tour was well organized, informative, and thought-provoking. We highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in discovering a deeper and often overlooked part of Warsaw’s history. Thank you for a memorable experience!
Magda was a gorgeous tour guide, very kind, knowledgeable, talked about history and the polis/jewish life in a very complex and multi-perspective way. It was amazing to hear the history from her, see the city from an aspect I have never seem it before, and learn from her personal experiences.
This tour was a truly unique and meaningful experience. Given the heavy nature of the subject, I felt that the level of entertainment was not suitable, as the topic deserves a more solemn tone. What stood out most for me was hearing the voices and stories of the Jewish community who lived in hiding after the Holocaust—an experience that was deeply moving and unforgettable. Magda, our guide, was knowledgeable and engaging, bringing history to life with sensitivity and respect. I believe this tour is especially powerful after visiting Auschwitz, as it provides important context and shows where so much of the story began.
Despite getting snowed on for most of the tour, we persevered and Magda made it easy. She was knowledgeable, and made a very grim topic entertaining, providing additional context about everything. I can sincerely reccomend.
Great tour I would highly recommend! It was very informative and kept me engaged the whole time. Magda has great material and related information. Thanks so much for the private tour :)
