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.

First, we'll visit the spectacular museum to learn about the connection between this conflict and Gdansk. The permanent exhibition will introduce us to key events we will explore during the tour.

Next, we'll 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's attacks. Polish survivors faced death sentences after this event.

We'll also discuss the defense of the shipyard against the German squadron and the destruction of the Jewish synagogue on the Night of Broken Glass in 1938. Notably, Gdansk received the 2019 Princess of Asturias Award for Concord.

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