Program

City walk: Along the Trail of Hiding Places
Meeting place: Muranów 06 tram stop
Guide: Katarzyna Jankowiak

Join us and visit places in the Warsaw Muranów District, where people continued to hide in bunkers and hideouts after the fall of the ghetto uprising. We will look for streets that no longer exist: Świętojerska, Gęsia, Wołyńska, Muranowska. On this journey through time, we will meet Dawid Białogard, Stella Fidelseid, Krystyna Budnicka, and Helena Szylkret. The walk is led by Katarzyna Jankowiak, an educator at the Warsaw Ghetto Museum, a guide at the POLIN Museum, and our guide to Jewish Warsaw.

City walk: Artists of the Ghetto
Meeting place: 3/5 Tłomackie Street
Guide: Szymon Pietrzykowski PhD

Despite the tragic reality, the Warsaw ghetto became a place of lively artistic activity – among the Jews imprisoned behind the ghetto walls, there were musicians, actors, painters, and representatives of other creative professions. During the walk, we will commemorate, among others, the heroes and heroines of this year's March of Remembrance – musicians Josima Feldszuch, Janina Familier-Hepnerowa, Paulina Braun, Jakub Goldsztajn, Artur Gold, Szymon Pulman, Władysław Szpilman – but also other, more or less well-known artists. The walk will begin in front of the Jewish Historical Institute, where, on 25 November 1940, a few days after closing the ghetto, the first concert of the Jewish Symphony Orchestra took place. The walk will be led by Szymon Pietrzykowski (PhD) from the Education Department of the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute.

City walk: In the Footsteps of the Remnants
Meeting place: 24 Chłodna Street
Guide: Masza Makarowa
Destination: 62 Złota Street

Join us and meet Masza Makarowa in the area of the so-called "little ghetto". During our walk, we will visit pre-war tenement houses and discover fragments of the walls of the closed district, saved by Warsaw resident Mieczysław Jędruszczak. We will listen to the stories from the lives of Warsaw's ghetto inhabitants. We will be guided by Masza Makarowa from the Education Department of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum. Masza is a historian, journalist, city guide, and the author of ‘A Guide to the Former Warsaw Ghetto’ (2023).
