Full description of tour

After the bunker, we will go by car to the Umschlagplatz. The guide will show you and explain why it is one of the most heartbreaking place in Warsaw. On this square Nazis loaded Jewish to the carriages and transported them to Treblinka – a concentration camp. Also at the Umschlagplatz stands a wall with typical Jewish names engraved on. The wall symbolizes the former Ghetto walls and commemorates the Nazi victims.

About 2 kilometres from the Umschlagplatz the guide will take by car our guests to Jewish Cemetery with old, typical jewish tombstones. There are buried spiritual jewish leaders, activists, artists and the other honoured people.

Later, we will visit The Old Synagogue. It is the only one pre-war synagogue which was not demolish during the Second World War.
