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 spectacular museum to learn about the ties this conflict had with Gdansk, with the permanent exhibition serving as an introduction to 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 faced severe consequences after this event.

We'll also learn about the defense of the shipyard against the German squadron and the destruction of the Jewish synagogue 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.
