It is impossible to understand Warsaw without looking at the history of Warsaw's Jews. Before WWII Warsaw had the largest Jewish community in Europe and the second largest one in the world. Warsaw’s Jews made up over 30% of the city’s population. Great names that lived here include Isaac Bashevis Singer, the Nobel Prize winner for literature, Janusz Korczak - the paediatrician and author of fables, Samuel Goldwyn – the co-founder of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film studio, Ester Rachela Kaminska - the famous actress and Władyslaw Szpilman - the great composer and main hero of the "The Pianist" by Roman Polanski. After WWII, Jewish Warsaw ceased to exist, but you can still find remnants of the history of two nations, one country - Polin.

The tour on the trail of Jewish heritage takes you to places where you can still admire the climate of pre-war multi-cultural Warsaw. You will visit the only synagogue which survived WW II and the Jewish cemetery where famous rabbis, Tzadiks, and Jewish families are buried. You will discover what the words menorah, Torah, Aron Kodesh and mezuzah mean. You will also learn about the symbolic meaning and architecture of the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, the only museum in the world dedicated to the history and present of Polish Jews.
