Your Travel Experience with Finest Journeys
On your last day, you will take a guided tour through the Jewish sites of Łódź, a city shaped by a mix of Polish, Jewish, and German influences. Begin at the Poznański Palace, once the residence of the prominent Poznański family and now home to the Museum of the City of Łódź. The building includes an ornate dining room and exhibits focused on notable individuals such as pianist Artur Rubinstein and writer Jerzy Kosiński. The next stop is the Jewish Cemetery, one of the largest in Europe, covering nearly 40 hectares and containing around 160,000 graves. The cemetery reflects more than a century of Jewish life in the city. Many headstones and mausoleums show detailed craftsmanship, with styles ranging from simple markers to elaborate monuments. This site serves as a resting place for rabbis, industrialists, doctors, community leaders, and others who played key roles in shaping the city. Through its landmarks and personal stories, the tour presents a clear picture of the depth and variety of Jewish presence in Łódź. It offers time to reflect on both the contributions and challenges that defined this part of the city's past, while showing how its legacy remains part of the present landscape.
