"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.

Warsaw
a city almost completely destroyed by the Nazi occupiers during World War II, was rebuilt thanks to the efforts of the entire nation. At first, the reconstruction mainly consisted in clearing the debris from the streets and repairing less damaged buildings. Over time, however, planners and architects began to draft plans of the new capital city, meant to be a model for the whole socialist homeland; an agglomeration, which could be created almost from scratch, without any restrictions, except for the guidelines of the new socialist realism style, also called in the "newspeak": “socrealism”.
We invite you to visit Warsaw path of socialist realism.
Do you want to discover what large cities behind the Iron Curtain were to look like?
