Surviving section of red brick Warsaw Ghetto Wall between the houses at 55 Sienna Streett. 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'. This fragment of Ghetto Wall is accessed through the front of the buildings into the courtyard at 55 Sienna Street. A United States Holocaust Museum Plaque, in Polish and English. reads: 'A casting and two original bricks of this wall, erected by the Nazis to enclose the Warsaw Ghetto, were taken to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, to give authentic power to its permanent exhibition, August 1989.' Memorial stones line the space from which the original bricks have been taken. View to Communist-era apartments, modern Zlota 44 and Intercontinental Hotel skyscrapers, and spire of Palace of Culture and Science.
