Interesting tour of Jewish ghetto

Tomasz gave us an amazing account of how the getto came to be, life in the ghetto and provided many stories of heroes during this time. He had a timeline of events which made it easier to follow and pointed out many buildings and places of significance. I found Thomasz presentation easy to follow and he took plenty of time to answer questions and allow for photos. I really recommend this tour.
