Monument Pomnik Bohaterów Getta in Warsaw

You're standing at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes, in the heart of Warsaw. During the Second World War, this whole area was part of the Warsaw Ghetto. And this is exactly where the uprising of 1943 began. The first armed clash between Jewish fighters and German troops happened right on this square. From August 1942 until the end of the ghetto, the Judenrat, the Jewish Council, had its last home here too.
