Know Before You Go

On earth, do not hide my blood so that my scream does not cease." The Warsaw Ghetto, a prewar Jewish district in Warsaw, does not exist anymore. It is still possible to find fragments of the Ghetto, but the essence of this part of the city, the sealed district of Warsaw, is hidden from us by the earth, asphalt, the foundations of new buildings, and oblivion.

As a Warsaw Licensed Guide, we will take you around the city which does not exist, and show you a view of the exterminated nation. During this tour, you will have an opportunity to see the remnants of the Holocaust in Warsaw. A walk around the former Jewish district will be a memorable journey to the past.

During the six-hour tour, you will hear the story of the Jewish District walking amongst the remnants of the Ghetto walls.
