On the south side of Stawki Street (right mid-distance) is the former SS Headquarters Building, now the Department of Psychology of Warsaw University. The buildings on the north side, now used as schools again, such as the High School and Economics School Complex Number 1 (Zespol Szkol Licealnych i Ekonomicznych Nr 1), seen here, .acted as a Jewish hospital. In 1942, Jews were detained here before their deportation to the extermination camp at Treblinka. A memorial plaque, with inscriptions in Polish and Hebrew, reads: 'The school and temporary hospital building served the detention of Jews before deportation to Treblinka.' Imprisoned Jews from Hungary and Greece were releaed from this building by soldiers of the Home Army after a fight with SS troops at the start of the Warsaw Uprising 1 August 1944.'
