  • The Jews of Poland We Are Dedicated to Making Your Experience Rich in Content and Superior in Comfort
    A Program for the Museum of Jewish Heritage Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow The Jews of Poland We are dedicated to making your experience rich in content and superior in comfort. October 1–12, 2021 This unique travel program combines the expertise and resources of two organizations that cherish the traditions, achievements, and faith of Jewish communities – past and present – around the world. Jewish Heritage Travel and the Museum of Jewish Heritage are delighted to have the opportunity to share this rich, varied, and poignant history and culture with you on these select trips. We look forward to traveling with you. Program Overview Before World War II, Poland’s 3 million Jews represented one of the largest and most influential Jewish communities in the world. The diverse community included Hasidim, secular Jewish intellectuals, Yiddish writers, Zionists, and socialists. Recently, a world-class museum opened in Warsaw, devoted to what Jewish life and culture were like in Poland. Jewish festivals in Kraków and other parts of Poland attract tens of thousands of people each year. Additionally, several universities have opened Judaic studies departments that have nurtured graduate students who have published impressive publications, bringing to life important aspects of Poland’s astonishingly rich Jewish history and culture. Join us on what promises to be a meaningful and fascinating trip— beginning in Warsaw, where a highlight will be a guided tour of the Museum of the History of Polish Jews, a museum that explores Poland’s 1,000-year Jewish history. Additionally, in Warsaw, we will visit sites including the monument to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, the memorial of Mila 18, and the Umschlagplatz—the site from which Jews were deported to Auschwitz and Treblinka.

  • Perceived Façade Colours in Different Daylight Situations: Survey in the Old Town of Warsaw
    Journal of the International Colour Association (2017): 17, 92-119 Sochocka and Fridell Anter Perceived façade colours in different daylight situations: Survey in the Old Town of Warsaw Anna Sochocka1,2 and Karin Fridell Anter3 1Faculty of Architecture WUT, Warsaw, Poland 2Faculty of Architecture NTNU, Trondheim, Norway 3SYN-TES Colour and Light Network, Sweden Emails: [email protected]; [email protected] The study was initiated by a debate on the methods for selecting façade colours in the reconstruction of the Old Town in Warsaw. In this debate, the difference between the nominal façade colour and the façade colour as perceived in the cityscape was not acknowledged. The nominal colour is here defined as the colour that the surface would have if viewed in the standardised situation used in the definition of Natural Colour System (NCS) samples, including standard light, viewing distance and surrounding colours. The nominal colour is expressed through the NCS notation of the colour sample that is the most similar to the façade in direct comparison, and for a newly painted façade it corresponds to the NCS notation of the paint. The aim of the present study is to investigate the difference between perceived colour as seen from a distance of approximately thirty metres, and the nominal colour of the same façades. The method is based on previously published work by Fridell Anter using the NCS for survey and analysis. The perceived colours of nine façades are determined under different weather conditions, in a total of 84 observations. The analysis shows that the perceived blackness of the façades is generally lower than the nominal blackness.

    POLAND Castles and Palaces ISBN 978-83-8010-012-1 www.poland.travel EN Castles and Palaces 1 Castles and Palaces castle palace Baltic Coast, Warmia and Masuria Central and Eastern Poland Southern Poland Lower Silesia and Wielkopolska Castles and Palaces 3 Knightly past and aristocratic luxuries Visiting castles and palaces in Poland is a fascinating journey across centuries. They witnessed the country’s complicated past and its many transformations. fter countless wars, partitions and other political and social turbulences, Athe preserved and restored castles and palaces are now part of Poland’s histori- cal heritage. Despite the wartime destruction, priceless monuments of the past remained untouched in many places. Others were restored or reconstructed with such meticulous care that they became works of art no less important than the original structures. By far, the boldest such undertaking was the reconstruction of the Royal Castle in Warsaw. Whether preserved or restored, castles and palaces are full of life these days. They are homes to museums and/or education centres. They are venues for cultural events or out-of- doors Sound and Light events. They function as luxury hotels with spa facilities, while res- taurants in castles and palaces take diners on journeys to the times of hunters’ parties and opulent feasts of the Polish nobility of olden days. ▶ ▶ Many layers of history are still waiting to be discovered. They are hidden either in Medieval strongholds made of earth, stones and wood, or in ruined, but still impressive, fortifications, or in castles of the Teutonic Knights, or in castles rearranged by aristocrats to become family residences, each more opulent than the last.

    UNESCO - WORLD HERITAGE IN POLAND Marta C, Julia D, Agata W, Jan We Historic Centre of Kraków Kraków Old Town is the historic central district of Kraków, Poland. It is one of the most famous old districts in Poland today and was the center of Poland's political life from 1038 until King Sigismund III Vasa relocated his court to Warsaw in 1596. Wieliczka and Bochnia Royal Salt Mines The Wieliczka Salt Mine, located in the town of Wieliczka in southern Poland, lies within the Kraków metropolitan area. The minecontinuously produced table salt from the 13th century until 2007. It is believed to be the world's 14th-oldest company. białowieza forest The Białowieża Forest is an ancient woodland straddling the border between the two countries, located 70 km north of Brest (Belarus) and 62 km south-east of Białystok (Poland). It is one of the last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest. Historic Centre of Warsaw Warsaw's Old Town was established in the 13th century. Initially surrounded by an earthwork rampart, prior to 1339 it was fortified with brick city walls. The town originally grew up around the castle of the Dukes of Mazovia that later became the Royal castle. Old City of Zamość Jan Zamoyski commissioned the Italian architect Bernardo Morando to design the city that would be based on the anthropomorphic concept. The main distinguishing features of the Old Town have been well preserved since its establishment. It includes the regular Great Market Square of 100 x 100 meters with the splendid Townhall and so-called Armenian houses, as well as the fragments of the original fortress and fortifications, including those from the period of the Russian occupation in the 19th century.
