8 Kolobrzeska, Bydgoszcz, Poland
The monument is located in Warsaw at the intersection of Stawki and Karmelicka Streets. The monument was designed by architect Hanna Szmalenberg and sculptor Władysław Klamerus. Its official unveiling was made on April 18, 1988, on the eve of the 45th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, as the most important element of the Memorial Route of the Martyrdom and Struggle of the Jews, unveiled on the same day. The monument consisted of a small square surrounded by over three-meter white walls, referring to the height of the walls of the Warsaw ghetto, being a symbolic closure of the former loading yard and a reference to the appearance of a railway car. In the central part of the wall there are four stone boards with inscriptions in Polish, Yiddish, English and Hebrew: “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”.
