About this talk
Before World War II, Warsaw was the second largest Jewish city in the world after New York. They were among three million Polish Jews killed by the German Nazis. Many survivors left Poland after the war, but some of them decided to stay. Many Jewish kids were adopted by Polish families and often until their adult life they didn't even know they were Jewish. For the last 20-30 years, young Polish people have been discovering their Jewish roots which were often hidden by their parents and grandparents - Holocaust survivors. I am one of them, and I want to share my family's story with you. As I work as a city guide, I will also take you on a virtual tour of the Warsaw Ghetto remains, and I will show you how Jewish life in Warsaw has been revived.
