Lublin: Jewish Heritage Private Walking Tour｜Poland

Begin at Plac Zamkowy, where a stone monument marks the location of the pre‑war Jewish district. Here, your guide will help you visualize the bustling Szeroka Street, once lined with synagogues, shops, and homes before the ghetto was created in 1940 and later destroyed.

Continue to the Lublin Castle (exterior only), which served as a prison during WWII. Many Jewish prisoners were held here before mass executions on the Czechów Hills and in July 1944, just hours before liberation.

Walk through the Old Town to Brama Grodzka, the symbolic gate between the Christian and Jewish parts of the city. Today it houses the “Lublin. Memory of the Place” exhibition, preserving stories of the vanished Jewish quarter.

Next, visit Grodzka 11, the former Jewish Orphanage and Elderly Home, once run by the Jewish Community. A commemorative plaque recalls its role as a shelter for orphans and Holocaust survivors after the war.

Continue to Noworybna, the post‑war headquarters of the Central Committee of Jews in Poland, which supported survivors by opening schools and publishing Jewish newspapers.

End at Lubartowska, home to the Chewra Nosim Synagogue — the only pre‑war synagogue in Lublin that survived intact.
