      Visit Warsaw's Holocaust memorials and POLIN

      Day 2

      In Warsaw, explore the Warsaw Ghetto Memorial, Nozyk Synagogue, POLIN and more

      Before World War II, Poland was once home to the largest Jewish community in Europe, which had thrived for centuries in an environment of religious tolerance. Your time in Poland’s capital, Warsaw, includes visits to Holocaust memorials including Nozyk Synagogue, the only one of Warsaw’s 400 synagogues to survive the war; the memorial to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943; the Umschlagplatz (the “taking away place”), the deportation point for thousands of Warsaw’s Jewish Holocaust victims; and the internationally-acclaimed POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, built on the site of the Warsaw Ghetto, which immerses visitors in the 1,000-year history of the Jews in Poland through interactive exhibits, reconstructions, and multimedia.

      The Plaszów memorial and more

      Day 4

      Your travels in Kraków include the former Schindler factory and the Plaszów concentration camp memorial

      In Kraków’s industrial district of Zablocie on the right bank of the Wisla River stands the former enameled vessels factory once operated by German industrialist Oskar Schindler, whose efforts to protect the lives of his Jewish workers was portrayed in the film, “Schindler’s List.” Today the former factory is a branch of the City of Krakow Historical Museum chronicling life in Krakow under German occupation, and includes several exhibits involving the story of Schindler and his workers. After a brief visit here, you’ll continue on to pay your respects at the remains of and memorial to victims of Plaszów, the infamous forced labor camp turned concentration camp from which Schindler managed to save more than a thousand Jewish workers.

      A poignant visit to the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial

      Day 4

      Visit the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial outside Kraków, and tour of the sites of both infamous camps

      Dating back to 1335, a re-emerging Kazimierz – Kraków’s historic Jewish Quarter – thrives anew today with cafés and bistros, antique shops, museums and galleries… despite being nearly destroyed by the Nazis during the Holocaust of World War II. On a guided tour of the district, you’ll visit the 15th-century Old Synagogue museum where exhibits showcase the history and traditions of Polish Judaism. Then, journey some 40 miles southwest of Kraków for a poignant visit to the memorial and museum at the former extermination camp complex at Auschwitz-Birkenau – including Blocks 4, 5, 7 and 11 at Auschwitz – followed by a tour of the Birkenau site. Back in Kazimierz, dinner is accompanied by Klezmer music.

      Private luncheon cruise in Prague and Q&A with a Holocaust survivor

      A private luncheon cruise on Prague's Vltava River and a Q&A with a Holocaust survivor

      For many of Europe's greatest cities, the rivers that flow through them are often their lifeblood and their defining feature. So it is with Prague, ancient capital of the Czech Republic, split by the Vltava River but joined by the historic Charles Bridge (and 17 others!). And there's no better or more unique way to experience the heart of this timeless city than aboard a private luncheon cruise on the Vltava through Prague's Lesser Town and Old Town. Also during your time in Prague, you'll be joined by a Czech concentration camp survivor for a poignant discussion of the Holocaust in wartime Czechoslovakia, followed by a memorable Q & A session.
