Jewish Tour of Poland
Itinerary: Warsaw – Otwock - Lublin – Krakow - Wieliczka - Auschwitz - Wroclaw- Lodz-Warsaw
September 12 – September 20, 2025
8 nights // 9 days
This is a unique, privately guided Jewish heritage and World War II history and folklore tour of Poland
We invite you to join us for this tour, based on the internationally published book Monsters and Miracles: Horror, Heroes, and the Holocaust by Ira Wesley Kitmacher (2022).
This journey delves into Jewish heritage, Holocaust history, the folklore, as well as general touristic sights. Discover stories of resilience and heroism as we explore significant sites, including:
- Warsaw: Trace the remnants of the Warsaw Ghetto and visit the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, which offers a comprehensive narrative of Jewish history in Poland.
- Kraków: Wander through the historic Jewish quarter of Kazimierz and reflect at the Galicia Jewish Museum, dedicated to preserving the memory of Jewish life in the region.
- Lublin: Explore this city, once a vibrant center of Jewish culture and learning.
- Łódź: Visit sites that highlight the city's rich Jewish heritage and its role during the Holocaust.
Ira was the inspiration for, co-designed, and co-leads this tour. Ira takes a cinematic view of the Holocaust: one part horror and the other part a hero and superhero story. The forces of good overcome those of evil. There is no way to fully understand the Holocaust and currently rising hatred without understanding these underlying topics.
