Journey to Poland

Suddenly, all those places where Jews had lived for hundreds of years, had vanished. And I thought that in years to come, long after the slaughter, Jews might want to hear about the places which had disappeared, about the life that once was and no longer is.

In the last few years, Poland has opened its doors - the doors to Warsaw, to Cracow, Tykocin ... The Polish people continue to live as they always have, in large cities, in towns and in villages. But the Jews who lived here for thousands of years have left no trace. A whole cosmos of life, work, study and creation has disappeared off the face of the earth. Can we make a journey to that vanished world? Walking the streets, standing in the market square, looking at pictures and reading the words - maybe in this way it will be possible to journey back to a world that survives only in photographs, in books and legends - a journey to a vanished world.
