Warsaw Ghetto Wall, War memorial at Sienna Street, Poland.
The wall on Sienna Street is a preserved concrete structure approximately 3 meters tall that marked the boundary of the Jewish district during World War II. The barrier stretches between buildings and shows the physical separation that once divided this area.
This section was built in 1940 as part of an 18-kilometer barrier that separated about 460,000 Jewish residents from the rest of Warsaw. The wall remained until 1943, marking one of history's darkest periods.
The wall carries plaques and inscriptions in several languages that tell the story of Warsaw's Jewish community during World War II. These markings help visitors today connect with the experiences of people who lived through this period.
Access to this section is through the courtyard entrance at 62 Złota Street. Daytime visits work best, when the area is open and easy to explore.
Two bricks from this wall were transferred to the Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. in 1989, making this location part of a larger international memorial effort. This act connected Warsaw's preserved section to Holocaust remembrance around the world.
