She explained the entire history of the Ghetto - as well as the uprising/ resistance so vividly - taking me to specific spots where the Ghetto used to be and showing me pictures of how the areas looked during the war so that I could see what changed and what has stayed the same. This helped take me back in time and understand drama of the history. I feel very lucky to have had Marzena as my tour guide. It was a rainy day - but her energy and her willingness to walk…”
