Poland – Day 3

Oct 7, 2010

Today the group departed Krakow  on a 9am train bound for Warsaw.

 Upon arrival, we had lunch with a guest from the Taube Foundation, an organization  supporting the ongoing revival of Jewish culture in Poland and to furthering awareness of this resurgence. 

After lunch we embarked on a sightseeing tour of Warsaw that included the former Jewish Ghetto with many inspiring monuments of World War II Nazi period, and the site of the bunker on Mila St., Mila 18 – headquarters of Warsaw Ghetto defenders and Umschlag Platz, where 300,000 Jews were deported. 

After checking into the hotel for an evening at leisure, all eyes are on the main part of our Central Europe tour beginning tomorrow, with 25 additional group members arriving into Prague.
