The building at Prozna 46 street in Warsaw with historical photographs of ghetto residents on the facade

The building at Prozna 46 street, one of the last original buildings from the Warsaw ghetto still standing. The red brick facade, deliberately not restored, has been transformed into an open-air memorial with large black and white photographs portraying the Jewish inhabitants of the ghetto. These faces, hung on windows and balconies, look at passersby remembering the thousands of people who lived and died in these streets between 1940 and 1943. Next to it, an elegant restored white building emphasizes the contrast between memory and modernity that characterizes this area of Warsaw.
