About the event

We invite you to a walk through a district that no longer exists. The houses were deliberately destroyed, and after the war the street layout changed. Nalewki Street is said to be the street that is most absent in Warsaw.

We will meet at the place where that metaphorical gate from one world to another once stood, and then we will walk along Nalewki, Gęsia, Zamenhof to Nowolipki, Mylna and Przejazd Street toward Wyjazd Street. We will also look at the mouth of Krasiczyńska Street. Not the one that currently runs to Targówek.



Today some of these streets leave no trace or remain only as fragments, which during the walk we will pick up while recalling stories related to the residents. Did you know that the history of world cinema began on Nalewki Street, and if we exaggerate a little, that a man who became a precursor of world cinematography was born on that street?



To realize his dreams of making films he needed capital, and he obtained it not with gloves, but "on gloves", committing, perhaps not a fraud, but a certain machination.



We will also look for answers to questions such as:



  • Which intersection in pre-war Warsaw was the busiest?
  • Where were the best goose gizzards served?
  • Where was the Warsaw diamond exchange located?
  • What were exempted (egzymowane) streets and what influence did they have on the neighborhood of Jewish believers in the north of the city?
  • What remains of Simons Passage?
  • Where did Ludwik Zamenhof live, and where did Icchok Lejb Perec walk?
  • Why were people reluctant to visit Dawid Sowa's bookstore and his wife, even though it was very well stocked?
  • Where did Jews buy tickets when they wanted to travel or sail, and where did they sincerely and bitterly weep?
  • Where was a very unusual rabbinical school located?
  • Which street gained the name "the street of funerals"?
  • Where was the entrance to the "Scala" theater, one of the most popular Jewish theaters in Warsaw?
  • How many synagogues were there in Warsaw?
  • What distinguished the newspaper "Mały Przegląd", where was it based and who were its editors-in-chief?
  • Who owned the "Palace of Ties"?
  • What was the name of one of the most outstanding Jewish sculptors active in Warsaw in the interwar period, where did he live and what remains of him?
  • Why could Orthodox Jews not enter the Great Synagogue?
  • Where did the names "Nowolipie" and "Nowolipki" come from?
  • What is the name of the most famous Warsaw street in the world?
  • Why was Mylna Street misleading and where can we find its trace?


The organizer is the Arktour Guiding Office, registration number in the Register of Organizers and Intermediaries of Tourist Services of the Mazovian Voivodeship: 1923.
