Gdansk World War II Tour

Discover the great resistance of Gdansk during the invasion of Poland on this World War II tour, during which you'll learn about the most epic efforts of the Polish community.

Description

At the indicated time, we'll meet at the entrance to the World War II Museum and begin our World War II tour of Gdansk.

We will first visit the museum to learn about the connections between this conflict and Gdansk, with its permanent exhibition providing an introduction to the tour.

Next, we will return to the historic center and stop at the Polish Post Office, where workers defended the building for 15 hours against the SS Heimwehr unit, with Polish survivors facing execution afterward.

Additionally, we will discuss the defense of the shipyard against a German squadron and the destruction of the Jewish synagogue on the Night of Broken Glass in 1938. The city of Gdansk was awarded the 2019 Princess of Asturias Award for Concord.

The World War II tour will conclude at the meeting point after 3.5 hours.
