Sunny portrait, to apartments at 65a Zlota Street, lamp-post sign to fragment of Warsaw Ghetto Wall at 62 Zlota Street, Warsaw


The apartments in the background are at 65a Zlota Street. The blue Polish, English language sign on the street lamp, reading 'Fragment muru Getta; A part of the Ghetto Wall', points to a surviving section of red brick Warsaw Ghetto Wall behind post-war flats at 62 Zlota Street. The wall, originally 3m high and topped by barbed wire, marked the border of the ghetto between November 15th 1940 and November 20th 1941. The Warsaw Ghetto was divided into a southern 'Small Ghetto' and a northern 'Large Ghetto'. Plaques on the wall at this location read: 'Ghetto enclave place dedicated to the memory of Jews tortured and murdered in the years 1940-1943 by the German occupiers'; 'In the period 15 November, 1940 to 20 November 1941, this was the boundary wall of the ghetto'.
