Tuesday, Av 5, 5775. July 21, 2015. Shalom! World. Winestone, ul. Zlota 48. Warszawa/Poland. The latest concept restaurant project, located within the city centre Mercure Hotel. Winestone takes its name from the fact that it stocks a great selection of fine wines and also serves food on very fashionable French stone tablets, otherwise known as 'Les Planches'. The calming and unfussy designe features an usual violet and black colour scheme, large wooden tables and a hefy bar. Everyone can feel like a budding Oz Clarke with the rather helpfully laid out wine list which is split into four easy to decipher categories - fresh and tasty, light and fruity, balanced and elegant, full and aromatic. A newly expanded shop insside the restaurant sells wine, bread, olives and a vatiety of foods so you can try and recreate your experience at home. High level: design, service and food. Shalom!

Tuesday, Tammuz 20, 5775. July 7, 2015. Shalom! World. The germans euphemistically referred to the railway sidings in the Ulica Stawki as the 'transfer site' - Umschlagplatz. The Umschlagplatz Monument, unveiled in 1988, marks the site of a former railway siding on Ulica Dzika and Ulica Stawki. Since July 22, 1942, transports of Jews to the Treblinka death camp departed from this square. It was from here that some 300.000 Jews from the Warszawa Ghetto and elsewhere were loaded onto cattle trucks and dispatched to almost certain death in the extermination camps. Among them was Janusz Koczak and his group of Jewish orphans. Living conditions in the Ghetto were inhuman, and by 1942 over 100.000 of the inhabitants had died. The monument, on which the architect Hanna Szmalenberg and the sculptor Wladyslaw Klamerus collaborated, is made of blocks of black and white marble bearing the names of 448 names, from Abel to Zanna of Warszawas's Jews. Between t...

Thrusday, Tammuz 8, 5775. June 25, 2015. Shalom! World. The first mention of the Jewish population in Warszawa dates back to the fifteenth century. Poland was then famous for its tolerance, which attracted many visitors. At first Jews settled in the Old Town, in Zydowska (Jewish) Street that does not exist today. With time, however, their growing prosperity caused that Warszawa burghers banned Jews from living within the city limits. For this reason, Jews started to settle near Warszawa - the memory of one of their settlements has survived in the name of Aleje Jerozolimskie (Jerusalem Avenue).  Aleje Jerozolimskie (Jerusalem Avenue) Joanna Rajkowska In 1977, near the present Zawiszy Square, a Jewish settlement called New Jerusalem was established - the road leading to it was called the Jerusalem Road. Warszawa authorities, recognising it as competition in trade, liquidated it a year later, but the name has survived to this day. The installation of Joanna R...

The heroic resistence of the Jews against the nazis is today commemorated by the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes. The Monument to the Ghetto Heroes (Pomnik Bohaterow Getta) was erected in 1948, when the city of Warszawa still lay in ruins. Created by the sculptor Natan Rapaport and the architect Marek Suzin, it symbolizes the heroic defiance of the Ghetto Uprising of 1943, which was planned not as a bid for liberty but as an honourable way to die. It lasted one month. The west side of the monument entitled "Fight", shows men, women and children holding grenades, guns and bottles of gasoline in their hands. This side of the monument symbolises the heroic uprising of insurgents. The side entitled "March to death" represents the suffering and martyrdom of innocent victims. Copi...

There was a decision on armed struggle. the Warszawa Ghetto Uprising broke out on April 19, 1943. Jewish fighters were not adequately equipped or trainned, but still they put up prolonged resistence. The result, however, was doomed. On May 8, 1943, the germans discovered and surrounded the headquarters of the Jewish Combat Organization, whose members commited suicide in the bunker in Mila Street.
