Monument to the Heroes of the Ghetto, west side The Monument was financed by Jewish organizations and unveiled in the ruins of the Ghetto on April 19th, 1948, the fifth anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. On the west side (shown), this is: "The Struggle", symbolizing fighting Ghetto Uprisers. A bas-relief, "The Road towards Extermination", is on the east side. The facing stone of Swedish labradorite was originally ordered by the Nazis for a monument to the victory of the Third Reich. The ghetto was established by the Nazi's in 1940 and reduced to rubble after the uprising. Photo 146, May 2007 |
