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.

What car rental company do not enforce IDP in WAW?

Why not make an IDP?

In Brooklyn, I need 3 hours midday.
For something that lasts a year. What a scam

Sixt, but there is a surcharge for not having it. IIRC, you can't deny their insurance.

Yes it is a scam, but you have no choice you gotta play along.

Enterprise/National/Alamo in Vienna had cards ready with this link that they gave to anyone without an IDP, send them to the back of the line, by the time your turn comes up again you'll have your (real fake) IDP.

Has no one had this yet ? I want to travel to Poland again in the next few weeks and want to know what to expect. I haven't heard anything about the ticket yet besides for the initial email stating that my information has been requested by the police. I dont want to get stopped from leaving the country. Any help will be appreciated.

I was once at the David Boutique Hotel and was very good but I don't think the fancier hotels are too expensive either.

What is the current situation with reservations to go to Auschwitz? Are they needed? If the website isn't showing available is there anything to do?
