    What a wonderful trip! Our guide, Yulia, was phenomenal. We took the 4-hour tour. Two hours at the POLIN museum and 2 hours walking around what used to be the Warsaw ghetto. The museum goes chronologically through polish history in general intertwined with Jewish history in Poland. It’s very organized and visually engaging. If want to read and listen to everything, it would take a whole day. Yulia summarized the key points in two hours. Then we walked the ghetto. Even my 6 year old was interested and asked a lot of questions. Highly recommended. Read more
