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.
