You will be able to sit in a café to read prewar Jewish press and sing along Warsaw’s old favourites, like“The Ball on Gnojna Street”. The exhibition will reveal how Jews influenced Warsaw, but also how Warsaw influenced the Jews, aiming to present the multicultural side of the city since its early days till the outbreak of the Second World War
