Overview

Before the horrors that followed the Second World War, Warsaw used to have the biggest Jewish community in Europe, and the only city that came close to it was New York. It’s a story of stubbornness, as for many centuries the Jews were not allowed in the city. However, that did not stop them from participating in city life – during good times and bad. The Jews played an important part in the fight against occupying powers, helping the citizens with their struggles. In the 19th and the early 20th century the city experienced a great influx and during the Interwar Period, the city flourished where hundreds of artists, actors, writers, and journalists built up a cultural life that can hardly be matched again and will forever be cherished. The Second World War and the following Holocaust changed Warsaw forever and left a deep, permanent scar on the city, its culture, and history.

But there is more to Jewish Warsaw than the past. There is also the here and now – the living Jewish community with a synagogue, kindergarten, school, and the only regularly functioning Yiddish theatre in the world: the Ester Rachela Kamińska Jewish Theatre.
