Gdansk History Trip – Poland
Gdansk: Gateways, Ghettos and Global Wars

“Gdańsk is a city rich in history, known as the birthplace of the Solidarity movement that helped end Communist rule in Eastern Europe.
Students can explore its beautifully restored Old Town, historic shipyards, and museums that reveal its Hanseatic League past and role in World War II. Gdańsk offers a unique opportunity to study European history, resistance, and regeneration.“
