We invite you to a walk during which, walking through the streets of the city center, we will try to transport ourselves to Warsaw between the two world wars. We will look for remnants, buildings erected before September 1939, and we will try to imagine what their surroundings looked like and how life revolved around them before the war broke out.
You will also hear stories and anecdotes from the interwar period related to the places we pass by.
