Jewish Warsaw Ghetto in WWII and Today – From Tragedy to Rebirth

Join me on a thought-provoking journey through the area of the former Warsaw Ghetto.

We'll walk in the footsteps of history, from the tragic past of WWII to the modern face of Muranów – a neighborhood built on rubble and resilience. You’ll learn how it was built, why some buildings stand on small hills, and why local residents believe in ghosts.

In addition to this, you'll discover powerful monuments, forgotten streets, and learn how Warsaw honors its Jewish heritage today. This tour is a respectful, informative, and deeply moving experience for anyone interested in Jewish history, WWII, and Warsaw's urban transformation. We will also address difficult topics, such as antisemitism in Poland and Jewish pogroms.


Main points along the route:
- Tłomackie Synagogue
- Stare Nalewki Street, once a commercial heart of Muranów
- Pawiak Prison, used by the Nazis to detain and torture members of the resistance and civilians – many of them Jews
- POLIN Museum and powerful Ghetto Heroes Monument, where world leaders like Willy Brandt, Barack Obama, and others paid their respects
- Anielewicz Bunker - a grassy mound that hides the ruins of the bunker where Mordechai Anielewicz and his comrades from the Jewish Combat Organization made their last stand
- Umschlagplatz - the former deportation point from where nearly 300,000 Jews were sent to Treblinka.
