The Schindler’s List tour

Itinerary:    Before the Second World War Poland was home to the largest Jewish community in Europe. During the tour you discover traces of the more than 800-year history and culture of Jews in Poland, which almost completely ceased to exist after the war. We explore Kazimierz, the former Jewish district with its synagogues from the 15ht-17th centuries, including the famous Remuh Synagogue and its sixteenth-century cemetery, old schools and houses of prayer. It is the place where the film “The Schindler’s List” was made by Spielberg in 1993. We see locations associated with Spielberg’s film, the site of the former Jewish ghetto from WWII, the remains of the ghetto wall and Oscar Schindler’s factory. We also visit the Galicja Jewish Museum with its outstanding photo exhibition presenting Jewish history in Poland from new perspective.
