Warsaw Ghetto
Maciej Jeziorek

A couple of years ago, while renting an apartment in the Nowolipki quarter of Warsaw, I recalled a photograph of ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto by Robert Cappa taken in 1948. The view from my window included same towers of Saint Augustine church as those immortalized in Cappa's famed image. The house, in which I lived, was built in the middle of those once, post-war, ruins. The Warsaw Ghetto was established for the Jewish population of Warsaw by Germans during their II Word War occupation of Poland. It existed from October 2,1940 until May 16, 1943. Over 400 000 of the Polish Jews were brought into the Ghetto. More than 100,000 of its residents died of disease, starvation and random killings before the Nazis began massive deportations from the Ghetto's Umschlagplatz to extermination camps. After the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which started on April 19, 1943, the Warsaw Ghetto was almost entirely leveled on Adolf Hitler's orders. There are very few remnants left of it today. It is hidden deep below the buildings, streets and sidewalks of Warsaw's quarters of Muranow, Nowolipki, Mirow, Nowe Miasto and part of Center Warsaw.
