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.

Hotels:
WARSAW:

Like 3 of the hotels offer kosher food, via Chabad. I think the holiday Inn was the fanciest 5 star hotel.

I was there helping the Shliach so I stayed by him but I know the Holiday inn offers Kosher food and there was a another hotel right down the alley from the Ramma's hul that offered Kosher and even had a Kosher Mikvah in the basement, I can't remember its name.

Not sure if this is a good place to ask, but here goes. I have a 30 hour stop-over planned in Poland, Warsaw, and plan to rent a car and drive to Auschwitz, then go to Krakow overnight and possibly a couple stops on the way back to warsaw the next day. I am going alone and wondered if anyone would care to join me. Dates are Aug 2, 10am arrival in Warsaw Chopin, and leave Aug 3 on a 5pm flight.
