Warsaw Ghetto boundary markers

In order to preserve the memory of the perished Jewish quarter, the Jewish Historical Institute and the City Monument Protection office took the initiative to feature in the public space of the Polish capital its most characteristic points on its former boundaries.

The markers were designed by Eleonora Bergman and Tomasz Lec in cooperation with Ewa Pustoła-Kozłowska and Jan Jagielski.

[1] Each marker consists of three elements: The dates 1940-1943 have symbolic meaning as the years when the Warsaw Ghetto existed.

[2] On 27 January 2010 on the International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the 22nd marker was unveiled on site of the preserved ghetto wall in Sienna Street.

[3] The project was financed by the City of Warsaw and the Polish Ministry of Culture and National Heritage.
