I am full of respect to all the history facts and I am presenting them with devotion and passion. My aim is to tell you how it was.

Itinerary

Warsaw Ghetto

40 min

The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest Jewish ghetto established by Nazi Germany during World War II. Created in 1940, it imprisoned over 400,000 Jews in overcrowded and inhumane conditions behind walls and barbed wire. It became a place of immense suffering, starvation, and deportations to death camps, but also of courage and resistance, culminating in the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Fragment Of Ghetto Wall

20 min

The remaining fragments of the original Warsaw Ghetto Wall are among the most powerful symbols of World War II in Warsaw. Built by Nazi Germany in 1940, the wall imprisoned hundreds of thousands of Jews in overcrowded and brutal conditions. Today, preserved sections serve as moving reminders of suffering, separation, and the resilience of the Jewish community.
Chlodna Street

15 min

The memorial at Chłodna Street marks the site of the wooden footbridge that once connected the two parts of the Warsaw Ghetto above the street below. Used by Jews forced into the ghetto during World War II, the bridge became one of the most recognizable symbols of division, isolation, and daily life under Nazi occupation in wartime Warsaw.
Umschlagplatz

Passing by

The Umschlagplatz Monument marks the site where Jews were deported from the Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka during WWII.
Memorial at Mila 18

15 min

Mordehai Anielewicz bunker.
POLIN Muzeum Historii Zydow Polskich

30 min

An outside visit to POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews highlights the powerful architecture and historical setting of the museum, located in the center of the former Warsaw Ghetto. Visitors can see the striking modern glass façade, symbolic public square, and nearby memorials connected to Jewish history. Just beside the museum stands the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, commemorating the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, along with plaques and monuments honoring the courage and suffering of Warsaw’s Jewish community during World War II.

We recommend making this the final stop of the tour, allowing you to continue with a 3-hour self-guided visit through the museum’s main exhibition, exploring 1,000 years of the history of Polish Jews with the help of an audioguide.
