Taxi

When you arrive in Warsaw the first people to welcome you will be the drivers of private taxis. Don’t be tempted and ignore them. Many of them will just try to rip you off or take you on a tour of Warsaw when all you want is to get to your hotel.

Memorial stone to the Jewish ghetto heroes of the Z.O.B. (Jewish Fighting Organization) who died in an underground bunker beneath the house at ul. Mila 18 during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in April and May 1943. The stone sits on top of a mound of rubble, where the house at this address once stood; it is turned slightly toward Mila street which is to the left. The street is still named Mila, but #18 is no longer an address there.

(Żydowski  Instytut  Historyczny)

This building was built in 1928-1936 as the library of the Great Synagogue. It also housed the Judaic Studies Institute, where scholars of the caliber of Majer Bałaban, Mojżesz Schor and Ignacy Schiper lectured.

The building was within the Ghetto during the war and housed the offces of the Jewish Mutual Aid Society. Here, Emanuel Ringelblum, who worked in the Society, created the underground archive of the Ghetto. In 1947, following its restoration, the building became the headquarters of the Jewish Historical Institute. It has extensive art, archival documents and photographic collections. Its greatest treasure is the recovered Ringelblum Archives. Art collections are on display in the permanent exhibitions: ‘The Warsaw Ghetto’ and ‘The Gallery of Jewish Art’.

(ulica Próżna)

This is the only former Warsaw Ghetto street still featuring all its tenement houses.

It is one of the few fragments of  ‘Jewish Warsaw’ in which the climate of the old Jewish quarter is revived during the Festival of Jewish Culture – Singer’s Warsaw. The festival has been held annually every September in Próżna street and Grzybowski Square since 2004.
