The history of the Jews of Poznan is inseparably tied with the history of the city. While in Poznan, it is impossible not to come into contact with the rich historical, cultural and religious heritage, which Judaism believers shaped over several centuries. Our walk starts from the former Jewish quarter – once the center of social and religious life of Poznan Jews. See the headquarter of the Jewish community, the New Synagogue and Akiva Eger Square. Stop at Wolnosci Square - once the place of the eternal rest of Poznan Jews. Go to the City Stadium, which witnessed the tragic fate of Jews during the German occupation. Discover the Square of the Righteous Among the Nations. See the Monument to the Victims of the Labor Camp for Jews in Poznan and the new Jewish cemetery.
