Additional Information

The Jews have had a strong influence on the city of Breslau. They were a large part of Wroclaw’s population until 1945. We start the walk at the market square and admire the old Jewish department stores in Art Nouveau style, especially the magnificent department store of the Barasch brothers. On the way we come across the so-called Stolpersteine, paving stones commemorating the Nazi regime. We soon reach the square where the largest Jewish “New Synagogue” stood. She belonged to the Reform Judaism movement, which toned down religious requirements. Unfortunately, the synagogue was destroyed during Kristallnacht in 1938. We enter the Jewish quarter, reach the courtyard of the White Storch synagogue, which is the only surviving synagogue in Wroclaw. The small synagogue is right next to it. It is surrounded on three sides by the building that has housed offices of the Jewish Community of Wroclaw since 1901. We end the tour in a Jewish restaurant.
