Itinerary
Day 1 Monday Arrival in Warsaw
Welcome to Warsaw! Upon arrival, transfer to your hotel, located in the center of the city.

Radisson Collection Hotel.
Day 2 Tuesday Treblinka – Tykocin – Łopuchowo Forest – Warsaw
This morning, depart on a full day excursion. First, pay respects at the Treblinka Memorial and Museum. Continue to Tykocin, considered to be one of the best examples of a traditional Polish shtetl, with a beautiful and well-preserved 17th century synagogue and adjoining former yeshivah. Next, visit the Łopuchowo Forest – the site where the Jews of Tykocin were brutally murdered in 1941. Return to Warsaw in the late afternoon. Radisson Collection Hotel.
Day 3 Wednesday Warsaw
Today is devoted to the Jewish history of Warsaw, You will sense the life in pre-war Warsaw, embodying the worlds of the Gerer Rebbe, I.L. Peretz, and Isaac Bashevis Singer. Warsaw is sometimes called the “Phoenix City” since close to 85% was destroyed by the Germans in WWII. Start with a walk from Umschlag Platz, via the Way of the Courage Memorials to Mila 18, headquarters of the Jewish Resistance. Next visit the Okopowa Jewish Cemetery, one of the largest in Europe, the Jewish Historical Institute, and the Nożyków Synagogue. In the afternoon, pay respects at the powerfully moving Rappaport Monument before entering the impressive POLIN Museum, unfolding 1,000 years of Jewish history in Poland.

In the late afternoon, continue to Krakow and check-in at the Radisson Hotel.
Day 5 Friday Krakow
Krakow, unlike Warsaw, was not destroyed during the German occupation.
