Holocaust Memorial Tours and Activities

On this tour we will present the most significant places in Bucharest that have had to do with the life of the Jews in Romania. In the 19th century about 10% of Romania's pollution was Jewish. Most Jews lived in big cities like Bucharest. They positively influenced the life of the community and left behind monuments of inestimable value such as temples. Unfortunately, 20th-century politics caused the Jewish community to leave Romania with or without their will.
