Poland: A Guide To 3.01

The app "POLAND: Cities, Towns and Jewish Life" serves as a comprehensive resource for exploring the diverse urban and rural landscapes of Poland, with a focused lens on Jewish heritage and history. It includes detailed entries on every Polish town and village that had a Jewish population exceeding 500 before World War II.

For both visitors to Poland and those seeking knowledge from afar, the app provides extensive information regarding significant tourist destinations across cities, towns, and villages, highlighting their Jewish historical contexts. Every entry encompasses insights into the general and Jewish history of each location, accompanied by maps illustrating major sites within those areas.

With coverage of over 400 towns and villages, the app details not only their histories but also features more than 850 important sites. These sites range from museums and castles to Jewish cemeteries, all accessible through navigable maps that facilitate user exploration of these points of interest.

Significantly, the app includes personal testimonies from Holocaust survivors, offering poignant narratives that connect users with the lived experiences tied to specific cities and towns. Furthermore, it provides thorough details about Nazi death camps situated in Poland, documenting both their histories and locations of individual sites within each camp.

While covered extensively, many tourist attractions are collected in a separate section dedicated to points of interest such as national parks. This app was developed for Moreshet, The Mordechai Anielevich Memorial Holocaust Studies and Research Center, with generous support from the Claim Conference.
