"O earth, do not hide my blood so that my scream does not cease" – a quote from the Book of Job, placed on the Umshlagplatz monument.
A walk around the former Jewish district is a unique journey to the past. In 1939 in Warsaw lived the second largest population of Jews (after New York) in the world. This fascinating area inhabited by over 400 thousand people within a few years was swept from the earth's surface. However, despite their efforts, the Nazis did not obliterate all traces.

When you ask where Frederic Chopin or Madam Curie were from, many people in the world will answer: from France. However, true admirers of their talent should not have doubts. Both were born in Poland, what’s more, in the same center, in the region of Mazowsze, Warsaw, or its immediate vicinity.
In the Frederic’s music one can easily notice elements of Polish countryside folklore, and Maria’s commitment to her homeland can be clearly seen in the name of the first radioactive element, discovered by her and her husband, Peter Curie - polonium.

We invite for an extraordinary journey to two epochs - the end of XVII century, when Poland was a European power, with an area of almost 1 million km2 and the end of the eighteenth century, when the partitions of and loss of independence took place. The first is the reign of John III Sobieski, the second are the times of the last Polish king Stanislaw August Poniatowski. Both were outstanding sponsors of art and today we can admire their residences. During the 4-hour trip we will see Wilanów – a gem of the Polish baroque and charming Łazienki park, where we can admire the architecture of Neoclassism.
