Lidia Wociór-Abutbul

Linguist, Art Historian, and Cultural Researcher specializing in the Jewish narrative of Eastern Poland.

Based in the historic city of Lublin—once celebrated as the "Jerusalem of the Polish Kingdom"—I design deep, immersive journeys through the traces of Jewish spirituality, literature, and architecture. As a licensed guide at the Majdanek State Museum, I also facilitate difficult yet crucial encounters with Shoah history.

Holding academic degrees in Art History and Applied Linguistics, alongside extensive research in Cultural Studies, I provide historical accuracy, linguistic accessibility (fluent in English, Polish, Hebrew, Russian, and Ukrainian), and a deeply empathetic personal lens to every traveler.

"As a licensed guide, I frequently observe a profound divergence in visitor dynamics. To school groups and casual tourists, Majdanek functions as a museum, that is, as a historical archive of stone and wire.
