World War 2 & Jewish Lviv Tour by Walkative!

Before World War 2, Jews made up around 30% of the city's population and it was one of the biggest Jewish communities in Europe. The city was immortalised in countless stories, novels and poems by its Jewish inhabitants, the most famous of which would be Sholem Aleikhem and Stanisław Lem.

The thriving community that existed since the Middle Ages disappeared, like in most places in Europe, almost overnight, destroyed by the Holocaust. Today, out of over a hundred synagogues and prayer houses only a handful remain. Yet, the stories stay. Ones of hope, friendship and heartbreak. Let us tell them to you
Let us walk you through the stories of Jewish life and death, complex realities of the multicultural city through the ages - how the Jews, Poles and Ukrainians interacted and how World War 2, including German and Soviet occupations, changed it forever.

The tour lasts 2 hours

Guiding since 2017
Walkative was established in 2007 by a group of young enthusiasts who also happened to be licensed tour guides. Today, we operate in 20 cities in countries across all of Europe and beyond, including France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Ukraine and Israel. We have already guided more than 3 million tourists, with more than 350 000 in 2023 only! Despite this growth, we stay true to our values: be local and present the history of our cities in a professional, yet entertaining way, accessible for everybody, regardless their budget. We provide service not only in big, well established places like Berlin, Paris or Krakow, but also smaller, less known, yet no less fascinating locations, like Nice, Toruń or Lublin. We cooperate with highly trained, professional guides providing both engaging tip-based and regular fixed-price tours. And most importantly - we know our cities by heart! Join us and stay Walkative!
