Start in the Auschwitz concentration camp and learn about how it was established by German Nazis on the outskirts of the town Oswiecim in 1940. After the war, the camp was turned into a museum displaying evidence of the genocide. Block no. 11, known as the Death Block, was where people were murdered at the Wall of Death. Outside the camp, see the gas chamber, where 70,000 people were killed in 1940-1943. Watch a film made after the liberation of the camp which is shown in various language versions within the museum. After this, head over to the Birkenau section of the concentration camp. Discover how, in 1941, 3 km from Oswiecim, in the former village of Brzezinka, the German Nazis established a new camp called Auschwitz II Birkenau. In 1942-1945, approx. 1.5 million people lived and died here. Most of them (90%) were Jews, others were Poles, Gypsies, Russians, prisoners from 28 countries of Europe, and people of all nationalities and political and religious persuasions. Since 1944, transports of prisoners from all over the continent entered directly through the Gate of Death.

Warsaw’s magnificent Old Town has a turbulent and colourful history. Its beautiful buildings and atmospheric lanes were nearly lost forever when the city was reduced to rubble during World War II. On this walking tour I’ll bring the past back to life, much like the area’s inhabitants did as, piece by piece and stone by stone, they combed through the rubble to salvage what they could so Poland could miraculously replicate the Old Town using old photographs, original building plans, and even paintings of Warsaw street scenes by the famous Italian artist, Canaletto. Our tour begins in the often-lively Castle Square, in front of its imposing Royal Castle. From there, I’ll show you some of the Old Town fortifications. You’ll hear how this renowned part of the city, with its regal elegance, was repeatedly threatened by jealous rival powers that coveted Poland’s wealth. I’ll show you statues of Jan Kiliński, a shoemaker who opposed the Russian invasion in the second half of the 1700s, and Mały Powstaniec (the Little Insurgent), which honours child soldiers who resisted Nazi occupation. You’ll also hear about the darkest period of the Old Town’s history, when Nazi Germany systematically demolished its infrastructure as the Germans tried to eliminate the Polish nation. We’ll enter the Old Town through its imposing Barbican gate and weave through its lanes and squares. Inside, I won’t just show you the most obvious sites. You’ll go down back lanes and check out corners where you’ll hear the stories and see the sites most visitors miss. These include: • The building known as Dom Kata, where the city executioner once lived before it was ironically repurposed as a doctor’s residence • Szeroki Dunaj Street, named after the Danube stream and housed a heaving market • The legend of a heartbroken prince trapped inside the statue of a bear • St Martin’s Church, where a hunger strike against Communist oppression inspired Lech Wałęsa to form the Polish Solidarity Trade Union movement • Beer street, or Ulica Piwna, where one woman melted a war-torn nation’s heart through her love for the Old Town’s birds Along the way, you’ll get answers to questions like: • Which parts of St Anna House – an Old Town building that has remained intact for more than 600 years – have been renovated? • What was the gruesome fate suffered by Michał Piekarski after he tried to assassinate King Sigismund III? • Where can you find the caterpillar tread of a tank that once burst through a cathedral's wall, a motif of a lion, and other colourful, quirky details that most people would miss? • How can the bell in Kanonia Lane make your wishes come true? On this 75-minute stroll, I’ll share the dramatic tale of how the Old Town has repeatedly flourished and fallen as it encountered dukes, kings, warriors, Nazis and Communists in its long history. It has always fought back and today stands more beautiful than ever, a time capsule filled with history, legends and inspiring artefacts.

Learn about Warsaw's WWII history with this ticket to the temporary exhibition "Around Us a Sea of Fire" at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews which was organized in cooperation with the Holocaust Research Center to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Experience the moving stories of the remaining inhabitants of the ghetto, the approximately 50,000 civilian Jewish people that spent many weeks hiding in shelters and bunkers. Against the despair, loneliness, starvation, thirst and fear, they fought for each and every day, hour, and minute.  Reflect on their quiet resistance, which was just as important as the resistance of those with guns in their hands. Find out how they hid underground and thus refused to comply to German orders. Explore the story of the "invisible" ones that is retold in this exhibition. See what daily life in a bunker was like and hear about the conditions in the shelters and hideouts. Learn about the people who shared them and how they coped with their daily routines and basic physiological needs. Visit a recreation of the physical reality of being confined to a bunker: the darkness, the heat coming from burning buildings, the deficit of space and air, and the sounds that were often the only way to find out what was happening on the ground level. Immerse yourself in the relations developing between the people who hid together, on their feelings and emotions. Dive into the conflict created by these conditions, the fear, panic attacks, lack of hope, and the feeling of being abandoned, of the world’s indifference, and of a life forsaken.  Experience the craving for love and intimacy, the urge to act and take responsibility for others, the lust for life, the will to save oneself and one’s nearest and dearest, and opposing evil thorugh the building of a community whose members supported and protected.  The exhibition is devoted to a time in history and to the events that took place, and yet it will touches upon the dilemmas, attitudes and feelings. It poses questions that remain vital in today’s world. Like, how do we behave in the face of death? Where is the line between struggling to survive and surrendering? Ask questions like, what do people feel when they are excluded from society and experience indifference or disdain? Many people in the ghetto described themselves as "drowning," devoid of any hope for a rescue.  Take a deep dive into questions that still resonate today, like how do we oppose evil, how do we combat it, what is indifference and where does it lead us, and do we feel ashamed when we witness the suffering of others?
