This marker at the intersection of Chłodna Street and Żelazna Street commemorates the site of the wooden footbridge over Chłodna Street which was built in January 1942 to re-connect the two parts of the Warsaw ghetto which were disconnected when this street was excluded from the ghetto in December 1941.
When Warsaw's German occupiers created the "Jewish Residential District" at the end of 1940, it initially included a narrow strip of land between Wronia and Żelazna streets which linked the "large ghetto" in the north to the "small" ghetto in the south. However, this meant that a short section of Chłodna Street (which was an important east-west transport corridor) became enclosed within the ghetto, which caused considerable traffic disruption in Warsaw over the next few months.
As a result, the Germans eventually decided to exclude Chłodna Street from the ghetto, thus dividing it in two. But doing so prevented the free movement of the Jews from one part of the ghetto to the other, which meant that it was still necessary to periodically stop the traffic on Chłodna Street to allow the inhabitants of the ghetto to cross.
This prompted the Germans to create the footbridge, which kept the traffic flowing and re-enabled free movement for the Jews, as well as allowing them a brief glimpse of the city outside the ghetto to which they no longer had access....
