Kevarim
Jewish cemetery near the Old Powazki. Established in 1809, it is one of the largest Jewish cemeteries in the world. Spread over an area of nearly 44,000 square feet (3160 square meters), the cemetery was left largely intact by the Nazis and includes the graves and tombs of a quarter of a million people, including the great Rabbanim of Warsaw as well as many secular giants in literature and the arts.

The Jewish Ghetto
The infamous Warsaw Ghetto, the scene of the only organized uprising.
On the left side of the Praga River, where the Ghetto used to be, you can visit several monuments commemorating the Jews of Warsaw, including the Monument over the Ghetto Heroes at Zamenhof Square, and Umschlagplatz, a memorial raised at the very spot where Warsaw Jews were gathered in 1943, loaded on cattle wagons and transported to the death camp at Treblinka. It is still possible to see how Jews lived in Warsaw ulica Prozna, a street left largely intact from before the Holocaust.

I was there Tuesday and yesterday. Tuesday dinnertime he didn't have anything. He apologized and said it's only available with advance order but starting next week he'll have buffet hot food available. When I dropped by again yesterday for CY milk they had already received the buffet for hot food and were in the process of setting it up. I subsisted on Kosher Delight for my stay.

Yes. Krakow and Warsaw. They used to have locations in Lodz and Lublin as well but those closed down.

Not sure but I trust others who trust him. The mashgiach at the Warsaw location is a gerrer Chasid from EY.

Just went to pick up my Hertz car in Warsaw Airport and was told that I need an international license. Any workaround? My friend rented from Avis a few days ago and had no issue? Does it depend on rental company?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

In Vienna they handed out to everyone a little uneven cut paper with a link to some scam IDP website where we could get the international driving permit within 10 minutes for $50. What a scam.

The entire IDP I think is a scam

$20 by AAA for one year? Should be for a few years for this silly paper

In my opinion (I haven't seen anything published to this effect), the point of an IDP is so that foreign car rentals/law enforcement can validate that your license is not suspended, as they don't have access to your home countries database. All AAA does is run your license and print a paper that confirms that it was valid as of said date. If it expired after several years it would defeat the purpose of an IDP...

+1,000,000

The IDP document whether through AAA or the other non official scammers (which Enterprise/Alamo/national is happy with) proves nothing, there's no real validation, supposedly the purpose of the IDP is that it is translated to many languages.
