Another fragment of the Warsaw ghetto wall
SEE MY HISTORY SITE ON FACEBOOK :
The Warsaw Ghetto was established by the Nazi German Governor-General Hans Frank on October 16, 1940. At this time, the population in the Ghetto was estimated to be 120,000 people, about 10 percent of the population of Warsaw. However, the size of the Ghetto was about 4.5% of the size of Warsaw. The ghetto was split into two areas, the small ghetto, generally inhabited by richer Jews and the large ghetto, where conditions were difficult. The two ghettos were linked by a single footbridge {See footbridge at [2]}. The Nazis then closed the Warsaw Ghetto from the outside world on November 16, 1940, building a wall with armed guards.
During the next year and a half, thousands of the Polish Jews as well as some Romani people from smaller cities and the countryside were brought into the Ghetto, while diseases (especially typhus) and starvation kept the inhabitants at about the same number. Average food rations in 1941 for Jews in Warsaw were limited to 1184 kcal, compared to 1669 kcal for gentile Poles and 2,614 kcal for Germans.
Unemployment was a major problem in the ghetto. Illegal workshops were created to manufacture goods to be sold illegally on the outside and raw goods were smuggled in often by children. Hundreds of four to five year old Jewish children went across en masse to the Aryan side, sometimes several times a day, smuggling food into the ghettos, returning with goods that often weighed more than they did. Smuggling was often the only source of subsistence for Ghetto inhabitants, who would otherwise have died of starvation. Despite the grave hardships, life in the Warsaw Ghetto was rich with educational and cultural activities, conducted by its underground organizations. Hospitals, public soup kitchens orphanages, refugee centers and recreation facilities were formed, as well as a school system. Some schools were illegal and operated under the guise of a soup kitchen. There were secret libraries, classes for the children and even a symphony orchestra. The life in the ghetto was chronicled by the Oyneg Shabbos group.

(the) Remaining fragment of the Warszawa Ghetto Wall. Warszawa, Poland, December 2017.
Remaining fragment of the Warszawa Ghetto Wall.
- The only surviving fragment of the Ghetto wall is located in the yard of a house in Sienna Street, between Sienna Street and Złota Street. To see it, you have to enter from 62 Złota Street as the gate at 55 Sienna Street has been permanently closed.
To create the Warsaw Ghetto, 11 miles of brick walls was erected around the Jewish quarter; which was then closed to outsiders on November 15, 1940. There were over 400,000 people imprisoned there, at an area of 3.4 km2 (1.3 sq mi), with an average of 7.2 persons per room. The wall was torn down in 1943 when the Ghetto was liquidated. Today only this tiny fraction of the wall remains.

It is possible that this is a section of the Warsaw ghetto wall but I accept that it may not be. It borders a section of the wall which is not disputed.
The Warsaw Ghetto was established by the Nazi German Governor-General Hans Frank on October 16, 1940.

Warsaw ghetto wall
To create the Warsaw Ghetto, the Germans built 11 miles of brick walls around the Jewish quarter; this area was then closed to outsiders on November 15, 1940. The wall was torn down in 1943 when the Ghetto was liquidated. Today there is only one short section of the original wall remaining; this section was outside the Ghetto when the original Ghetto became a smaller area after most of the Jews had been deported.

Mury getta warszawskiego / Warsaw Ghetto Walls
Getto warszawskie – getto dla ludności żydowskiej utworzone przez władze niemieckie w Warszawie 2 października 1940, a zamknięte i odizolowane od reszty miasta 16 listopada 1940. Było największym gettem w Generalnym Gubernatorstwie i całej okupowanej Europie. W kwietniu 1941 w obrębie murów „dzielnicy żydowskiej” znajdowało się ok. 450 tys. osób.
W wyniku tzw. wielkiej akcji wysiedleńczej od 22 lipca do 21 września 1942 ok. 80% mieszkańców getta zostało wywiezionych i zamordowanych w obozie zagłady w Treblince. W sierpniu 1942 południowa część getta (tzw. małe getto) została włączona do „aryjskiej” części miasta. W części północnej pozostało ok. 60 tys. Żydów. Większość z nich pracowała w działających w getcie niemieckich zakładach produkcyjnych.
Getto zostało zlikwidowane po powstaniu w maju 1943. Po wywiezieniu pozostałych przy życiu mieszkańców do Treblinki oraz obozów w dystrykcie lubelskim zabudowa „dzielnicy żydowskiej” została na rozkaz Niemców zburzona.
Łączna liczba ofiar getta warszawskiego szacowana jest na ok. 400 tys. osób, z czego ok. 92 tys. zginęła lub zmarła w Warszawie (głównie ofiary głodu i chorób), a ok. 300 tys. w obozie zagłady w Treblince i w trakcie dwóch akcji wysiedleńczych. Dawni mieszkańcy getta stanowili także dużą część ofiar akcji „Erntefest” przeprowadzonej w obozach w dystrykcie lubelskim w listopadzie 1943.

The Warsaw Ghetto (German: Warschauer Ghetto, officially Jüdischer Wohnbezirk in Warschau Jewish Residential District in Warsaw; Polish: getto warszawskie) was the largest of all the Jewish ghettos in Nazi-occupied Europe during World War II. It was established by the Nazi German authorities in the Muranów neighborhood of the Polish capital between October and November 16, 1940; within the new General Government territory of German-occupied Poland. There were over 400,000 Jews imprisoned there, at an area of 3.4 km2 (1.3 sq mi), with an average of 7.2 persons per room; barely subsisting on meager food rations. From the Warsaw Ghetto, Jews were deported to Nazi camps and mass-killing centers. In the summer of 1942 at least 254,000 Ghetto residents were sent to the Treblinka extermination camp during Großaktion Warschau under the guise of resettlement in the East over the course of the summer.
The death toll among the Jewish inhabitants of the Ghetto is estimated to be at least 300,000 killed by bullet or gas, combined with 92,000 victims of rampant hunger and hunger-related diseases, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and the casualties of the final destruction of the Ghetto.

Krakow ghetto today in 4K (2018) Visual tour
In May 2018 I've visited Krakow, Poland and succeeded in my personal detailed walking tour through the famous WW2 sites, such as Plaszow Concentration Camp, Kazimierz district, DEF factory and the Krakow ghetto, which has become well-known after the Schindler's list movie.
In this short 4K montage I've combined 20+ main sites of the former Krakow ghetto. Ghetto Heroes Square, Krakow ghetto Pharmacy, Judenrat offices, ghetto police, and prison, Julius Madritsch's factory, fragments of the ghetto wall, and others.
