Umschlagplatz Monument

In the central part of the wall there are four stone boards with inscriptions in Polish, Yiddish, English and Hebrew that read as follows: Between 1942 and 1943, more than 300,000 Jews from the ghetto that had been established in Warsaw went to the Nazi death camps along this path of suffering.The gate to the commemoration area is topped with a semi-circular black matzevah-like plaque carved from a syenite block donated by the Swedish Government and society.

From the edge of Stawki Street, between the main body of the monument and the school wall, runs a lightly sloping path – the road of death – where Jews were driven to the railway ramp for the transport to Treblinka.

On June 11, 1999, during his seventh apostolic journey to Poland, John Paul II prayed for the Jewish nation at this commemoration place.

At that time, white marble panels "Biała Marianna" were replaced with cladding made of grey granite from Zimnik, Lower Silesia, which is more resistant to weather conditions.

[8] Since 2012, to commemorate the victims of the displacement from the Warsaw Ghetto in 1942, the Memorial March of July 22, organized by the Jewish Historical Institute, begins at the monument.

It contained an inscription in Polish, Hebrew and Yiddish:[10] From this place, in 1942 and 1943, mass murdering Nazis transported hundreds of thousands of Jews to the death camps.
