This is a little tricky to find as it is in the middle of a housing estate but Google Maps will take you there if you follow it. Definitely worth the effort to see this important piece of history. It does hit home that people will have lived within these walls when you look at the building around - it's easy to visualise how this was the Ghetto.

Established in October-November 1940, this small district, comprising only 2.4 percent of Warsaw's land area, is where more than 450,000 Jews were forced by the Germans to live in crowded conditions.

There are few remaining portions of the Warsaw Ghetto, there a few here, and then you have the markers seen on the sidewalk/road in Warsaw. The absence of placards is disconcerting, but it would seem the country wants to move on. There are indications a Warsaw Ghetto museum is under construction, so that maybe that will help fill in the blanks for those who don't know. Not too far from here are some remaining buildings/apartments from the Ghetto era. Highly recommend seeking those out as well. It's a tragic piece of history that should be taught and remembered. Reading ahead about the Warsaw Ghetto is necessary to truly understand what you're seeing here. The remaining brick walls were part of the grand scheme controlling the lives of too many innocents to count, all because of what they believed.

Keret House - the narrowest house. The Keret House is an artistic installation, which has the form of an “insert” between two buildings representing different epochs in the history of Warsaw. The house is 70 cm in the narrowest place and 122 cm in the widest. It was designed by Jakub Szczęsny from the architectural group CENTRALA and built in 2012. The symbolic resident and patron of the house is Edgar Keret – a famous Israeli writer. The curators of the installation are Sarmen Beglarian and Sylwia Szymaniak from the Polish Modern Art Foundation. The Keret House is an artistic installation touching the subject memory of the place, a space in which artists from around the world realize their projects during artistic residences, and an example of extraordinary architecture. It draws attention with its small surface, which is a perfect example of an apartement in a small space. The house is owned by the Polish Modern Art Foundation.
