Jewish Warsaw Tour

 History of Jewish Warsaw district

Prewar Jewish district in Warsaw does not exist. A walk around the former Jewish district will be a memorable journey to the past. In 1939 in Warsaw lived the second largest Jewish population in the world after New York. This fascinating area inhabited by over 360,000 people within almost three years was swept from the earth’s surface.
