Warsaw - Jewish Ghetto


It is difficult to capture the essence of a city that has been destroyed by war and marked by the atrocities during the time of Nazi occupation. The image you see is the Warsaw Ghetto Monument, which remembers the victims of the Nazis' during the war. The area surrounding this memorial was inhabited by Jewish Poles during World War II, and was known as the Jewish Ghetto. In April 1943 the Nazis destroyed this area. Today it has been totally rebuilt as a residential area.
