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.
First, we'll visit the museum to learn about the ties this conflict had with Gdansk. Its permanent exhibition will serve as an introduction to the rest of the tour.
Afterward, we'll return to the historic center and stop in front of the Polish Post Office, where workers defended the building for 15 hours against the SS Heimwehr unit. Polish survivors were sentenced to death after this episode.
We'll also learn about the defense of the shipyard against the German squadron and how the Jewish synagogue was destroyed on the Night of Broken Glass in 1938. 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.
