10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Eastern Poland That You Shouldn't Miss
An area that changed flags several times in the 20th century, Eastern Poland consists of Podlaskie, Lublin and Subcarpathian Voivodships (Provinces). The largest cities in each are Bialystok, Lublin and Zamosc respectively. The Masurian Lake District in the northeast includes Wigry National Park and Lake Hancza, the deepest lake in Poland. Bialowieza National Park, on the Belarusian border, protects one of the last remaining sections of a huge primeval forest that once covered Eastern Europe.

Zamosc is very pretty, historic city with charming old town. We have been out of the season so a lot of places were closed but i think this is place worth going any time during the year because of people and lovely architecture

The second of the two, it doesn't mean worse. The mosque in Kruszyniany was the first to be seen, so there was the second one in Bohoniki ;-) I liked the one in Bohoniki more. Maybe the surroundings are nicer? Certainly a visit to Podlasie cannot be without seeing the mosque in Bohoniki.

My wife and I were in Warsaw and I had read about the restoration of this old synagogue. Not one of the largest in pre-war Poland, but of historical significance. Typical of the free-standing sunken fortrass synagogues of its era. We got a guide in Warsaw to take us. After WW2 synagogue fell into disrepair, and has recently bee3n resored to "like-new" condition. While we were there several Jewish groups came through, one from North Ameraica, one from South America. Tycochin pre-WW2 was 50% Jewish, 50% Catholic. The synagogue was at one end of the town, the church on the other, with the town marketplace in between. We got a thorough tour of the town and the local guides at the synagogue were helpful (being Jewish, we know what we were looking at and reading on the inscriptions). Guides facilitated our photography. Agree that what happened to the community was glossed over. Our Warsaw guide took us to the spot in the forest a few miles outside of town where the Nazi's murdered the community over a two day period. There are memorials there marking the mass graves. On our way we briefly stopped at the Jewish cemetery. Basically, the Nazi's tried to erase hundreds of years of Jewish history in this place. They wiped out the people, sadly. The synagogue and vestiges of the cemetery remain as testiment. If you are interested in Jewish history, and Jewish civilization / culture, worth a visit.
