De tota la part nord, on finalment els jueus atacaren als nazis al 1943, no en queda quasi cap resta ja que fou totalment arrasat. Els pocs edificis i restes que en queden es troben a la part sud, cap a Wola.<br /> <br /> Aquest és un dels edificis supervivients del ghetto més famosos, suposo que per la imatge dramàtica que dona, amb aquest pati interior ara obert (la part frontal fou enderrocada per una bomba el 1944). Però no és pas l'unic edifici del ghetto en peus, com alguns afirmen. Al costat mateix n'hi ha dos més. Es troba a Waliców 14. Aqui va viure el &quot;poeta del ghetto&quot;, Władysław Szlengel, abans de ser assassinat pels nazis el 1943.<br /> <br /> Aquesta foto forma part de tot un viatge pel centre de Polònia, enfocat especialment en els més tragics moments del Holocaust i la II Guerra Mundial, que esclafà Polonia com pocs llocs, però que alhora contrasta amb l'increible renaixement del país fins al moment actual.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gueto_de_Vars%c3%b2via" rel="noreferrer nofollow">ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gueto_de_Vars%C3%B2via</a><br /> <br /> =============================================<br /> <br /> Of the Warsaw Ghetto, the largest Jewish ghetto of all, with some 450,000 people living in horrible conditions, few elements remains. Of the entire northern part, where the Jews finally attacked the Nazis in 1943, almost nothing remains as it was completely razed. The few buildings that remain are in the southern part, towards Wola. <br /> <br /> This is one of the most famous surviving ghetto buildings, I suppose because of the dramatic image it gives, with this now open inner courtyard (the front part was demolished by a bomb in 1944). But it is not the only ghetto building standing, as some claim. There are two more right next to it. It is located at Waliców 14. The &quot;ghetto poet&quot;, Władysław Szlengel, lived here (or at least in this street) before being murdered by the nazis in 1943.<br /> <br /> This photo is part of a trip through central Poland, focused especially on the most tragic moments of the Holocaust and World War II, which devastated Poland like few places, but which at the same time contrasts with the incredible rebirth of the country up to the present day.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto</a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%c5%82adys%c5%82aw_Szlengel" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C5%82adys%C5%82aw_Szlengel</a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.jhi.pl/en/articles/poems-i-was-reading-to-the-dead-wladyslaw-szlengel,484" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.jhi.pl/en/articles/poems-i-was-reading-to-the-dead-wl...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/7455207@N05/">SBA73</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/7455207@N05/55327461888/" title="Recordant el pont del ghetto / Remembrance of the ghetto bridge"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55327461888_851c73955f_m.jpg" width="180" height="240" alt="Recordant el pont del ghetto / Remembrance of the ghetto bridge" /></a></p> <p>IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE <br /> <br /> Del ghetto de Varsovia, el ghetto jueu més gran de tots, amb uns 450.000 persones vivint en horribles condicions, quàsi no en queda rès.

Els pocs edificis i restes que en queden es troben a la part sud, cap a Wola. <br /> <br /> En aquest punt hi va haver, entre gener i agost de 1942, un pont de fusta per conectar el ghetto gran amb el ghetto petit, separats com havien quedat pel carrer Chłodna. Tot i el poc temps que va existir, s'ha convertit en una de les imatges més recordades del ghetto. Fa pocs anys, en el mateix punt on es trobava, s'ha eritit un memorial en forma de quatre columnes metaliques i uns cables conectat-les. Tot el que envolta aquesta zona és posterior a la guerra excepte l'edifici amb balcons del centre, que va sobreviure i permet comparar aquesta imatge amb algunes de les de 1942.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.jhi.pl/en/articles/bridge-of-sighs-of-the-biggest-ghetto-in-europe,249" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.jhi.pl/en/articles/bridge-of-sighs-of-the-biggest-ghe...</a><br /> <br /> Aquesta foto forma part de tot un viatge pel centre de Polònia, enfocat especialment en els més tragics moments del Holocaust i la II Guerra Mundial, que esclafà Polonia com pocs llocs, però que alhora contrasta amb l'increible renaixement del país fins al moment actual.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gueto_de_Vars%c3%b2via" rel="noreferrer nofollow">ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gueto_de_Vars%C3%B2via</a><br /> <br /> ===========================================<br /> <br /> Of the Warsaw Ghetto, the largest Jewish ghetto of all, with some 450,000 people living in horrible conditions, few elements remains. Of the entire northern part, where the Jews finally attacked the Nazis in 1943, almost nothing remains as it was completely razed. The few buildings that remain are in the southern part, towards Wola. <br /> <br /> At this point there was, between January and August 1942, a wooden bridge to connect the large ghetto with the small ghetto, separated as they had been by Chłodna Street. Despite the short time it existed, it has become one of the most remembered images of the ghetto. A few years ago, at the same point where it was located, a memorial was erected in the form of four metal columns and some cables connecting them. Everything surrounding this area is post-war except for the building with balconies in the center, which survived and allows us to compare this image with some of those from 1942.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.jhi.pl/en/articles/bridge-of-sighs-of-the-biggest-ghetto-in-europe,249" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.jhi.pl/en/articles/bridge-of-sighs-of-the-biggest-ghe...</a><br /> <br /> This photo is part of a trip through central Poland, focused especially on the most tragic moments of the Holocaust and World War II, which devastated Poland like few places, but which at the same time contrasts with the incredible rebirth of the country up to the present day.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto" rel="noreferrer nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warsaw_Ghetto</a><br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.whitemad.pl/zelazna-66-zabytkowa-kamienica-chaima-gerkowicza-czeka-na-ratunek/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.whitemad.pl/zelazna-66-zabytkowa-kamienica-chaima-ger...</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/7455207@N05/">SBA73</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/7455207@N05/55327302231/" title="La Varsòvia nova i vella / New and Old Warsaw"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55327302231_6fefffa60e_m.jpg" width="240" height="169" alt="La Varsòvia nova i vella / New and Old Warsaw" /></a></p> <p>IN ENGLISH BELOW THE LINE <br /> <br /> Del ghetto de Varsovia, el ghetto jueu més gran de tots, amb uns 450.000 persones vivint en horribles condicions, quàsi no en queda rès.
