POLIN Planet: A Ball on Gnojna Street. A Tale of Varshe/Warsaw, the capital of Polin/Poland

In this episode, we will talk about Jewish residents of Warsaw—once the largest Jewish community in Europe and the second largest in the world. It’s no coincidence that Warsaw (Varshe), the capital of Poland/Polin, is the home of POLIN Museum. In this episode, we step out of the Museum building and show the multiculturalism of Warsaw Jews by visiting cemeteries, synagogues, and prayer houses. We will explore Praga, the right-bank district of Warsaw, and the legendary Różycki Bazaar. We will tell the story of Esperanto, a universal language created in Warsaw by Ludwik Zamenhof, as well as his daughter Lidia, who was the first adherent of Baháism in Poland—a monotheistic religion rooted in Shia Islam. Lidia, who was murdered by the Nazis in the Treblinka death camp, symbolizes the tragic fate of Warsaw Jews. Without them, Warsaw would not be the city it is today—both universal and deeply local.
