Overview of your Gdansk tour

Shalom. Walking the streets of Gdańsk, we are not always aware of how many places were associated with the Jewish community. Many Jewish merchants came to Gdansk from Lithuania in the fifteenth century. In later centuries more immigrants came from Ukraine, Volyn, Latvia, Russia, Podolia, Great Poland. The main synagogue was opened in the nineteenth century and destroyed before the war. Many of those who remained in Gdansk were murdered by the Nazis. During the tour, I will show you the places connected with Jews' life. It will be also a chance to see the house in which a merchant and art collector Lesser Giełdziński lived and born in Gdansk Frank Meisler creator of the sculptures commemorated Kindertransports and who was one of the children who left Gdansk with the hope of life to London just before the war outbreak. Lesser Giełdziński Judaica collection can be seen in New York, but it is worth to look into the house, in which he lived and worked.

Maggie was terrific. She was informed about all the sites provided stories and answered all my questions. I appreciate that she added viewing of the clock changing at St Mary's church. I would not have known about that.

Malgorzata (Maggie) is very knowledgeable on the Gdansk area. We visited for a day and she even went out of her way to help us search our Jewish family tree. A very special day for us. If looking for a english speaking guide with a great personality look no further. Thank you for a fabulous day! Sherryl, Lenny, Mitch and Sue
