"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.

Let’s go in search of them. During a four-hour tour we will tell you the story of Jewish Atlantis. Through photographs we will be able to compare what houses, streets and places of worship of the Jewish neighborhood used to look like and what those places look like now. We will find the remains of the Ghetto walls. You will follow the Trail of Martyrdom and Memory from the monument of the Ghetto Heroes to the former old railway station, from where 300 thousand Jews were sent to the extermination camp in Treblinka. We will learn about the everyday life in the ghetto, cooperation with the Poles, resistance against the Germans and eventually about the uprising - the first such an attempt in the occupied Europe. We will also walk around the Jewish cemetery - one of the largest existing cemeteries in this part of the world, where we will tell you about the lives of Warsaw merchants, doctors, writers, actors. We will visit among other things the resting place of the creator of Esperanto. Plenty of tombstones can be undoubtedly considered sculptural masterpieces and are also fascinating because of their rich symbolism. At the end we will visit the Nożyków synagogue – at present the only one in Warsaw.
