Day 1: Welcome to Warsaw

Upon arrival at the airport, you will be met, greeted and escorted to your hotel. After the check-in join the sightseeing tour of Warsaw. Walk in the Praga district, where the Jewish community lived before WWII. See the tenement houses, old mikvah building, and other Jewish institutions, which escaped war destruction. Next stop will be Bródno Jewish Cemetery, the oldest in the city. Continue to the left Warsaw riverbank to see Chłodna Street with richly ornamented apartment houses. In one of them Adam Czerniaków, the chairman of the ghetto’s Judenrat lived. Next, pass by the place where the large and small ghettos were linked by a wooden footbridge.

Day 4: Discover Krakow

Depart to Krakow to explore the city. Visit the Jewish Quarter. Walk the streets of Kazimierz, stopping at synagogues, market squares and beautiful old graveyards. Cross the river and explore Podgorze (a short walk from Kazimierz). This area, once a prosperous mercantile district, became Krakow’s Jewish ghetto during the war. Fragments of the old wall still survive as a chilling reminder of the past that is really not that long ago at all. Whilst a few Jews managed to escape from the ghetto (Roman Polanski is a well-known example) most were transported from here to the death camps. End the walk back in Kazimierz, which today is enjoying a far‐reaching renaissance.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

Day 5: Galicija Jewish Museum, Holocaust Survivor meeting

Today visit the Galicia Jewish Museum. It exists to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust and celebrate the Jewish culture of Polish Galicia, presenting Jewish history from a new perspective. The objectives of the Museum are to challenge the stereotypes and misconceptions typically associated with the Jewish past in Poland and to educate both Poles and Jews about their own histories. Meeting with a Holocaust Survivor would be the highpoint of the entire Polish experience. These meetings in the Galicia Jewish Museum are organized with the intent to provide a friendly atmosphere for witnesses, one that makes them comfortable to tell their stories and answer all kinds of questions from the audience afterwards.
