Warsaw ghetto boundary marker on Żelazna Street near the intersection with Aleja Solidarności
This is the location of one of the main ghetto entrances, which was situated opposite the building of the "Collegium" Society at 84 Leszno Street.
This building was eventually destroyed by the Germans, but during the existence of the "Jewish quarter" it housed the Labour & Statistics Departments of the Judenrat (Jewish Council). As it was on the "Aryan" side of the ghetto wall, a wooden footbridge was built over Żelazna Street in September 1941 to allow Jews to enter the building directly at second floor level.
