Jewish heritage Poland Tour

Over sixty years have passed since the end of world war two, and today more and more Jewish families and individuals return to eastern Europe to take a tour of what the Jewish nation lost during those dark days.
Going on a Jewish heritage tour to Poland, can be a moving experience to anyone. The first day of the Jewish heritage tour is in Warsaw places like the Warsaw Cemetery, Orphanage, Hebrew Institute Jewish Museum, to get you started take a walk throw the Ghetto and see Nuzik Synagogue, later the heritage tour continues to more locations in Warsaw and Poland.
Warsaw, Warsaw is the capital and largest city of Poland. It is located on the Vistula River roughly 260 kilometers from the Baltic Sea and 300 kilometers from the Carpathian Mountains. Its population as of June 2009 was estimated at 1,711,466, and the Warsaw metropolitan area at approximately 2,785,000. The city area is 516.9 square kilometers (199.6 sq mi), with an agglomeration of 6,100.43 square kilometers (2,355.4 sq mi) (Warsaw Metro Area – Obszar Metropolitalny Warszawy).Warsaw is the 9th largest city in the European Union by population.
Warszawianka (1831) is widely considered the unofficial anthem of Warsaw. On 9 November 1940 the City of Warsaw was awarded the highest military decoration for courage in the face of the enemy - Order Virtuti Military for the heroic defense in 1939.
Warsaw is also known as the "phoenix city", as it recovered from extensive damage during World War II (during which 80% of its buildings were destroyed), being rebuilt with the effort of Polish citizens. Warsaw has given its name to the Warsaw Confederation, Warsaw Pact, the Duchy of Warsaw, Warsaw Convention, Treaty of Warsaw and the Warsaw Uprising.

  1. I agree with this, traveling to Jewish pilgrimage is really a different experience and I have recently experienced such an experience by traveling to Israel with the help of Gama tours.
