Full description
During this 3-hour tour you will explore the real-life neighborhoods, streets, and homes that made up the Warsaw Ghetto, the largest of all the Jewish ghettos in German-occupied Europe during World War II. Learn from a professional guide who will weave together the harrowing stories of everyday life in the ghetto while you explore fragments of the ghetto walls, the last street of the ghetto, and the still-functioning synagogue that survived the Second World War. Learn about the history of this haunting place where German authorities imprisoned Jews, located in the Muranów neighborhood of the Polish capital, between October and November 1940. Over 400,000 Jews from Warsaw and the surrounding area were located in this area of four square kilometers. 100,000 people died here from exhaustion, hunger, disease and more than 300,000 were killed in the nearby Treblinka extermination camp. Discover the ghetto's history, including the 1943 uprising, and its lasting legacy.

We had a very informative guide name, Jorge. He was very knowledgable on the subject on the Third World War and the Jewish Ghetto and it's uprising. He shown us very interesting places regarding the Jewish Ghetto from the early 40's and I really enjoyed this tour!

Ewa, unsere Begleitung durch das jüdische Warschau war eine sehr gute Stadtführerin! Sie hat ein unerschöpfliches Wissen über „ihre“ Stadt und deren Geschichte! Wir haben gelacht und geweint! Diese Tour können wir nur empfehlen! Vielen Dank dafür, ganz besonders an Ewa! Micha & Rebecca

Guida molto preparata. Abbiamo girato per la città principalmente a piedi e con il tram per esplorare i punti e monumenti più importanti del ghetto ebraico. La città di Varsavia è stata completamente ricostruita quindi non vi è una vera e propria via/quartiere dove vedere i resti del ghetto. Visita comunque interessante
