Mass grave marker for thousands of Ghetto victims
When the Warsaw ghetto was sealed in November 1940, this cemetery was enclosed inside the ghetto. In the beginning of the ghetto, ghetto residents who died were buried in individual graves, but soon the deaths in the ghetto were so numerous that the dead were buried in mass graves here. The white stones with black lines mark the boundaries of this mass grave.
