Footbridge of Memory, War memorial at Chłodna Street, Warsaw, Poland.

The Footbridge of Memory consists of metal poles connected by optical fiber cables that project the shape of a former bridge across Chłodna Street.

This memorial marks the location of a wooden footbridge that connected the large and small sections of the Warsaw Ghetto from January 1942 during Nazi occupation.

The memorial incorporates viewing windows within its poles, displaying photographs and documents that tell stories of daily life in the Warsaw Ghetto.

Visitors can observe the light installation after sunset, while during daytime the pavement markings indicate the historical boundaries of the ghetto walls.

The optical fiber technology creates a ghostly outline in the night sky, representing the exact dimensions of the original wooden structure that stood at this location.
