Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, Memorial monument at Zamenhofa Street, Warsaw, Poland.
The bronze sculptures and stone walls of the monument depict Jewish resistance fighters advancing with weapons on the western side and suffering victims on the eastern side.
The monument marks the location of the first armed resistance of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943, where Jewish fighters confronted Nazi forces for nearly a month.
The memorial incorporates elements from Jewish heritage, including a design reminiscent of the Western Wall in Jerusalem and inscriptions in Hebrew, Polish, and Yiddish.
The monument stands near the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, with access through public transportation stops at Anielewicza and Zamenhofa streets.
The construction materials include granite blocks that were originally brought to Warsaw by Nazi officials for their planned architectural projects.
