Fragments of the ghetto walls in Warsaw

Fragments of the ghetto walls in Warsaw, Historical memorial site in central Warsaw, Poland

Three sections of red brick walls, standing up to 6 meters tall, mark the former boundaries of the Jewish district established during World War II.

German authorities constructed these walls in November 1940 to segregate 460,000 Jewish residents within a restricted area of 3.4 square kilometers.

The walls at Sienna, Złota, and Waliców Streets display commemorative plaques and photographs documenting the Jewish community's experiences during the occupation.

Visitors can find the main preserved sections at 55 Sienna Street, 62 Złota Street, and 11 Waliców Street in the downtown district.

Individual bricks from these walls now reside in museums worldwide, including the Holocaust Museum in Washington and Yad Vashem in Jerusalem.
