Tracing the Warsaw Ghetto - What Remains

About the event

Before the outbreak of World War II, 30% of Warsaw's population was Jewish. The tragic years of occupation, the ghetto uprising in 1943, the Warsaw Uprising, systematic burning and demolition of the city by the occupiers, as well as post-war reconstruction and the emigration of Jews who survived the war's devastation, have left few traces of the Jewish community in modern Warsaw. 📅 We meet on Saturday, October 4, 2025, at 4:00 PM at Złota 62. The walk is planned to last approximately 1.5 hours. During the walk, we will learn: - What remains of the former Ghetto? - Whose determination saved a fragment of the Warsaw Ghetto wall? - Where did Janusz Korczak work, and from where did he leave Warsaw in 1942 to go to the death camp in Treblinka? - Where was the legal Jewish university located? - What is the significance of the 19th-century building that still stands today? - What lies beneath our feet? - What is in Świętokrzyski Park? - Who organized false baptism certificates, smuggled food parcels, and medicines? - Where is the only functioning synagogue that survived World War II? - What fact is overlooked on Grzybowska Street? - Where did Adam Czerniakow take cyanide? - And much more... Participation in the walk is free of charge; however, if you feel the guide deserves a tip, you are welcome to give one. The walk will be led by a guide from Warszawski Zaułek. You are warmly invited, and see you there.
