Jewish Heritage Journeys
Private, deeply researched tours exploring Jewish life, memory and genealogy in Łódź.
Designed with sensitivity and historical expertise.
Łódź was once one of the most important Jewish centres in Europe. Before the Second World War, nearly one third of the city’s population was Jewish. Today, traces of that vibrant world can still be discovered — in architecture, memory sites and family stories.
My private Jewish heritage tours are designed for travelers seeking depth, authenticity and personal connection. Each itinerary is created individually, depending on your interests, family history and time available.
What You May Discover
During your private journey, we may visit:
-
Jewish Cemetery in Łódź – one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in Europe, resting place of industrialists, rabbis and thousands of families
-
Radegast Station – the deportation site and memorial connected with the Łódź Ghetto
-
The former area of the Łódź Ghetto (Litzmannstadt Ghetto)
-
Izrael Poznański Palace – residence of one of the most influential Jewish industrialists
-
Surviving pre-war tenement houses and factory complexes connected with Jewish entrepreneurs
Each site is presented within a broader historical and cultural context — from the dynamic industrial growth of the 19th century to the tragedy of the Holocaust and the post-war years.
A Personal Approach
As a licensed city guide and author of guidebooks about Łódź, I combine academic knowledge with years of practical experience guiding international visitors. My tours are conducted privately, at a comfortable pace, allowing space for reflection and conversation.
This is not a standard group tour.
It is a carefully curated journey into history.
