Warszawa jødiske ghetto: privat tur i retro bil med hotel afhentning
Beskrivelse
Denne private tur til det jødiske ghetto i Warszawa udforsker et af de mest tragiske kapitler i Anden Verdenskrigs historie. Før krigen var Warszawa en af verdens største jødiske byer. Under den tyske nazistiske besættelse blev det jødiske samfund næsten helt ødelagt, og ghettoet blev slettet. Rejser med vintage Żuk retro minibus giver dig mulighed for at besøge flere historisk vigtige steder, der er svære at nå til fods. Med en dygtig lokal guide, vil du lære om dagligdagen under tysk nazistisk styre, massedeporteringer og opstanden i Warszawa-ghettoet i 1943. Turen omfatter vigtige steder som Grzybowski Square og Próżna Street, bevarede fragmenter af ghetto muren, Waliców Street, Mila 18, Monument til ghetto helte, POLIN Museum område og Umschlagplatz. Som en privat tur, er ruten fleksibel og kan tilpasses til dine interesser. Denne oplevelse er ideel for rejsende interesseret i Anden Verdenskrig, Holocaust og Warszawa historie.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Efter afhentning af hotellet præsenterer din guide den historiske baggrund i det jødiske Warszawa og oprettelsen af det jødiske ghetto under Anden Verdenskrig, hvilket sætter konteksten for de steder, du skal besøge. Turen begynder ved monumentet dedikeret til Janusz Korczak, en polsk-jødisk pædagog, forfatter og direktør for et børnehjem i Warszawa. På trods af mulighederne for at undslippe, valgte han at blive hos de børn i hans omsorg og blev deporteret med dem til udryddelseslejren Treblinka.
Dernæst besøger du Grzybowski Square, der engang var en del af det jødiske Warszawa og i dag er et sted, der afspejler byens dramatiske 20. århundredes historie. Området var vidne til to verdenskrige, to totalitære systemer og omdannelsen af det moderne Europa. De nærliggende gader bevarer stadig spor af jødisk liv før krigen.
Próżna Street er den eneste gade i Warszawa, hvor jødiske boliger fra før krigen har overlevet. I dag står den som en sjælden fysisk påmindelse om jødisk Warszawa og bliver et fokuspunkt under den årlige Singer’s Warsaw Jewish Culture Festival.
Besøg et bevaret fragment af Warsaw Ghetto-muren, der markerer ghettoets tidligere grænse. Nogle sektioner forbliver skjult mellem bygninger, og din guide tager dig til en af de tilgængelige steder for at forklare, hvordan området blev afspærret fra resten af byen.
På Waliców Street, se et ødelagt hus, der ofte omtales som det sidste synlige "spøgelse" i ghettoet. Et fragment af ghettoens mur er også bevaret her, hvilket giver en kraftig visuel påmindelse om ødelæggelse og tab.
På Chłodna Street, lær om den træbro bygget i 1941 for at forbinde de to adskilte dele af ghettoen. Broen rejste sig over den aktive trafik, hvilket gjorde det muligt for sporvogne og tyske køretøjer at passere under. Arkivfotografier hjælper med at illustrere denne ekstraordinære struktur.
Fortsæt til Muranów, en efterkrigslig boligkvarter bygget direkte på ruinerne af det ødelagte ghetto. Selvom det synes at være et typisk kvarter, rummer jorden under lag af krigshistorie afsløret gennem din guide forklaringer.
Besøg monumentet til ghetto helte, der ligger i nærheden af stedet for de første væbnede sammenstød i 1943 Warszawa ghetto opstand. Området symboliserer også efterkrigstidens minde og forsoning gennem begivenheder, der fandt sted i løbet af de seneste årtier.
Stop uden for POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, bygget på den tidligere ghetto. Museets navn refererer til en legende knyttet til jødisk bosættelse i Polen. Adgang er valgfri og ikke inkluderet i prisen.
På Mila 18, lær om bunkeren, der blev brugt af jødiske modstandsbevægelser under oprøret i 1943. Da de blev opdaget af tyske nazister, valgte mange af dem, der gemte sig inde, døden frem for fangst. Deres rester er begravet under stedet.
Turen afsluttes ved Umschlagplatz, det tidligere deportationspunkt, hvor jøder blev transporteret til udryddelseslejren Treblinka. I dag er mindesmærket på Stawki Street en højtidelig påmindelse om det sidste kapitel i det jødiske liv i krigstiden i Warszawa.

Tom (Tomek) was an excellent guide! We learned so much from him on our three hour walking tour. He made the Jewish ghetto more real for us by showing us black and white photos of the war period verses what is there today. JayWay had suggested this tour for us, and I argued at the time that I could do it on my own. In hindsight, I was glad to meet Tom and listen to his detailed explanations rather than reading from my guidebook.
The tour we had with Konrad was one of the absolutely best tours we have ever had on any trip. Konrad was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Jews in Warsaw, brought us to locations throughout the city to show us specifically some of the history of our people in the area and even had actual historical pictures of the areas he was showing us. My wife and I learned a phenomenal amount of history from that tour and we would both very highly recommend it.
My husband and I took an anniversary trip to Poland and had the best time! While we were in Warsaw, we had the best tour guide, Konrad! We were so lucky we got to have him for both our Jewish History Tour and our WWII buffs tour. HE WAS AMAZING! We were able to go around the city in a mini bus but also walk around and show us all the major sites of where things were before they were destroyed and are now rebuilt. He has such a wealth of knowledge being born and raised in Warsaw that it cannot be beat. He even went above and beyond and showed us local restaurants, away from tourists, where locals hangout, drink, and drink. For anyone who is considering any tours in Warsaw, request Konrad, you will not be disappointed, gain so much knowledge, and have a great time!
Konrad is a wonderful tour guide - he’s very knowledgeable, polite and helpful. We learned a lot and highly recommend him!
My husband and I were lucky enough to have Tom as our tour guide and driver on this full day exploration of Jewish Warsaw and Treblinka. Tom gave us a full visit of ghetto sites, both south and north. Although we knew about the ghetto uprising, being in the locations brought the experience to life . Tom has a wealth of information and photos from the past to illustrate places and events that we could not see with our eyes but could now visualize at those locations. We then drove to Treblinka and felt the weight of this terrible place and learned more from Tom.
The guide is knowledgeable about the ghetto and its history. However, the narrative presented reflects a Polish perspective, emphasizing that 3 million Poles killed were "coincidentally" Jewish, while also suggesting that Jews were seen as communist sympathizers, leading to local resentment. This perspective aligns with a typical antisemitic narrative. The true victims of the Holocaust were the Jews—not the Poles, who, while they suffered, were also perpetrators in some cases. This distortion of history is similar to how Hamas terrorists attack Jews and then portray themselves as victims. The tour felt like an official propaganda session that we paid for. Additionally, the 3-hour duration was quite intense for such a heavy and difficult subject, especially when mixed with biased messaging. That said, despite these issues, I would recommend the tour.
Dear Elazar, My name is Marcin, and I was your guide that day. Thank you for sharing your emotions and opinions about our tour. Meeting you and your group was a meaningful experience, and I believe we all learned something from our discussions. My goal is always to provide accurate information and context, allowing my guests to understand these tragic events more deeply. I’m sorry to hear that parts of the presentation felt unbalanced or biased from your perspective. Throughout the tour, I aimed to illustrate the fate of Polish Jews, particularly during the Second World War, when our country was attacked and occupied by both Nazi Germany and the communist Soviet Union. It’s also the story of Polish Catholics and others of various faiths who bravely helped, such as Irena Sendler, as well as those who regrettably betrayed and collaborated with the Nazi regime. I also covered the tragic pogroms, the role of the "Polish Blue Police" in Warsaw, and the "Jewish Police" formation in the Ghetto. However, as it was an exceptionally cold day, I noticed some group members were unprepared for the weather. We shortened certain parts for everyone’s comfort, and I observed some people stepping away or unable to hear the full explanation—this may have resulted in missing or misunderstanding parts of the narrative. I sincerely regret if any part of the tour’s content or delivery made it seem as though I was downplaying Jewish suffering or promoting biased perspectives. I did not say that “3 million Poles killed were "coincidentally" Jewish”; this had to be the misunderstanding. German Nazis murdered 3 million Polish Jews during the Holocaust and around 2 million Polish Catholics, other faiths and minorities. I intended to emphasise that they were all citizens of Poland (before WWII). It also came to my attention that during a conversation in the car, someone from your group mentioned that “all the Poles were happy when the Jews were murdered.” This statement is deeply troubling, as it generalises and misrepresents the complexity of Polish attitudes during the war. While there were undoubtedly collaborators and those who committed terrible acts, there were also people who risked their lives to save their Polish Jewish neighbours. I stand firmly against any form of antisemitism or hate speech. My mission is to illuminate the complex and often painful history of wartime Warsaw, including acts of heroism, resistance, collaboration, and tragedy. I regret that the tour left you feeling it was “official propaganda”; I always intend to present history responsibly and comprehensively. Thank you once again for your feedback. It helps me develop and ensures I honour the memory of all who suffered during this tragic chapter of history. Sincerely, Marcin Grabowski
It has been a very interesting and amazing tour, I recommend it. The guide, Karol, was very passionate about the impact of the Jewish community and culture on the city. The historical van is a fun addiction to the tour.
Marcin was very interesting and friendly! He knows a lot about history, Jewish history to be specific. This is a small price to pay to access to all of his knowledge about the past of this communauty. He was in time at my hôtel with his retro minibus Zug (I loved Zug!) and drove me to several places in Warsaw. He even showed me pictures of the past when we were there. Awesome expérience: I do think this activity should be on every "things to see in Warsaw". I highly recommand it to everyone who wants to know more about the dark past of the Jewish community!
Must do Jewish Heritage Tour! From my first email to Marcin and all the planning in between, everything was great. Marcin promptly answers emails and helps with the planning stages . Our tour guide Mariusz was fantastic. We happened to have our scheduled tour on the anniversary of the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and with Mariusz’ planning everything went smoothly. Our driver Matthiew navigated to streets flawlessly. Mariusz was extremely knowledgeable. He took us to a great little local spot for lunch in Praga. If you’re looking for a tour in Warsaw I highly recommend Warsaw Behind the Scenes.
Excellent tour and guide. Very interesting, Informative and professional. Would definitely recommend Martin as a tour guide.
