Celebrating 57 Years of Service!
San Antonio Jewish Senior Services (SAJSS), in partnership with HMMSA, invites you to join a meaningful and immersive journey through Poland — tracing over 800 years of Jewish life, faith, culture, destruction, and renewal.
This thoughtfully curated experience will explore Jewish history from medieval beginnings through the Holocaust and into today’s revitalized communities, offering opportunities for learning, remembrance, and reflection.
Stops Include
Poland’s capital is a powerful gateway into Jewish history. In Warsaw, we explore centuries of vibrant Jewish life alongside sites that bear witness to the destruction of the Holocaust and the city’s remarkable postwar rebirth.
A historic center of Jewish learning, Lublin was home to one of Europe’s most influential yeshivot and a vibrant Jewish community. Today, we reflect on its legacy while confronting the profound loss and lasting memory left by the Holocaust.
Home to one of Poland’s most beautifully preserved synagogues, Łańcut reflects both the cultural richness and resilience of Jewish life before the war. Our visit highlights the community’s spiritual heritage and the enduring efforts to preserve its memory.
Kraków’s historic Jewish quarter remains one of the most intact in Europe. Here, past and present meet as we experience sacred spaces, vibrant streets, and a meaningful Shabbat that reflects both memory and renewal.
Łódź tells the story of endurance under unimaginable conditions. Visiting sites of the former ghetto, we confront the realities of wartime survival and honor the lives of those who lived, labored, and perished there.
This all-inclusive heritage journey will explore Jewish life in Poland from medieval times through the Holocaust and into the modern era. Participants will visit significant cities, shtetls, memorials, and living Jewish communities, gaining a deeper understanding of both loss and continuity.
