The remains of a red brick residential building in the former Warsaw ghetto area. The structure, severely damaged, shows empty windows, crumbling walls, and evident signs of abandonment. Bare trees grow next to the ruins, while fragments of other buildings are visible in the background. This type of construction, typical of late 19th century Warsaw popular architecture, housed Jewish families crammed into the ghetto, where population density reached inhuman levels with over 400,000 people confined to an area of just 3.4 square kilometers.
