Activity itinerary

Fontanna Jaśkowa Dolina
  • 10m
Meet your guide in front of the Jaskowa Dolina Fountain, Jaskowa Dolina, 80-980 Gdansk
New Synagogue
  • 1h
  • Admission ticket included
You will see the only remaining synagogue in the city, the New Synagogue, but you will also learn about the Great Synagogue, which was completely destroyed under the Nazi regime. The guide will share interesting stories about the local Jewish history and culture, from the Middle Ages, through the General Privilege, World War Two, to present day. Visit the New Synagogue and learn more about the local Jewish community. Built in 1926-1927 based on the design by Berlin architects Imberg and Friedman, the synagogue is a simple and practical place of worship. Inside, you will learn about the activities aimed to keep the Jewish heritage alive in the city, and see a small exhibition on the history of 20th century Jews of Gdansk.
Gdańsk Politechnika
  • 40m
Another point of interest will be the University of Technology, whose architect and the first vice-chancellor was Albert Carsten. The scholar worked at the university until 1933 when he was fired due to his Jewish origin. Through stories like this, you will be able to understand how the Nazi ideology spreading across Poland has severely damaged the local Jewish community even before the official beginning of WWII, forcing many Jews to emigrate.
Kindertransport memorial
  • 40m
You will also learn about the Kindertransport, a rescue effort that saved some of Gdanks’s Jewish children from persecution.
Gdansk
  • 1h
Enrich your Jewish experience tour with a visit to the Jewish Cemetery in Chelm. Datin back to 1694, it is one of the oldest Jewish cemeteries in Poland. It survived WWII intact but has suffered from mindless mindless vandalism and destruction after 1956. Nevertheless, it is an important place of Jewish heritage with a few sandstone headstones that tell the storey of Gdansk’s Jews. Your Private Guide will show you around Wrzeszcz district, which is a cultural centre for the local Jewish community.
