Regardless of museums, Opera houses, theaters, castles, palaces, there is a lot to explore in Warsaw. Aleje Ujazdowskie is one of the highlights of Warsaw. Linden trees, which were planted in the eighteenth century, stand on both sides of the street. In the street there are many chic upper-class houses in the city. Another must-see to see when visiting Warsaw is the former ghetto. The ghetto was created in 1940, the first year of National Socialism in Poland. The ghetto used to be inhabited by Jews, who had to live here under the rule of the National Socialists in increasingly poor conditions. In March 1942 the first Jews from the Warsaw ghetto were brought to the Treblinka concentration camp. In April 1943 the Jews no longer wanted to surrender to their fate and the ghetto uprising broke out, which was brutally and brutally suppressed by the National Socialists.
