Duration: 7 Days
For centuries, Poland was the biggest centre for the Jewish diaspora in the world. Prior to 1939, there were about 3.5 million Jews in Poland, which constituted more than 10% of the country's inhabitants. The Second World War put an end to this rich culture and tradition. All that remains are the unique examples of a preserved Jewish presence found in cemeteries, ohels of miracle-working rabbis, empty synagogues, ruins of former shtetls, and carefully renovated palaces of the Jewish bourgeoisie. Our Jewish Heritage Tours offer visits to Krakow with its famous Jewish district of Kazimierz, the best-preserved former Jewish district in Europe; to Warsaw, where the biggest Jewish community in Europe lived before the Second World War; to Lodz, known as the Polish "promised land"; to Lublin and Zamosc, cities in eastern Poland that were centres of Jewish academic development, literature, and culture; and to many more destinations. This type of tour doesn't focus on the memorial sites or former extermination and concentration camps; these topics can be discovered during one of our Memorial Site Tours.
