My tutor at Durham university said I should visit the Ghetto Uprising site. Many of his relatives perished in the Holocaust. So I went there on the first day of my visit to Warsaw. Nearby is a new museum where, although the core exhibit is not yet installed, is magnificent. To my mind, it rivals the Jewish museum in Tel... More

The museum, modern and full of light, and the monument, very expressive, are very interesting but there is not much to see inside.

Rappaport truly captured the spirit of the uprising in this famous two sided sculpture. For years it sat alone in an open park, and now it sits in the shadow of the new Museum of History of Polish Jewry. If you are a lover of art, you should give yourself time just to take in the beauty of this sculpture.... More

you can feel the heaviness of the town, you can feel the sadness of the history, but you don't really understand what has happened their till you visit the jewish ghetto. it is very sad but eye opening to what this world is capable of.

Doesn't take long to swing by and pay your respects at this memorial, and should be a must for every visit to Warsaw. Beautiful construction, but lacking in descriptions and signage for those who are on their own and may want a little more information. Our guide book gave us information, but something next to the memorial would be nice.

This is a very good monument to the jews that were killed and those that fought back. It could use some signage and verbiage so you would know what it is.

This is one of the most famous monuments commemorating one of the most tragic cards in the human history. Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The exact copy of this very monument is also erected at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem. The monument is located in the center of what it was Jewish Quarter in the pre-war Warsaw. Now the surroundings have been enriched... More

Many people visit the memorial as it is part of a tour. The Jews way of life is part of Polish history. I expected the memorial to be larger in size but it is as symbolic as it could be. The only think is that it is not in a more central part of the City.

Sorrowful, beautiful monument. Should be a mandatory visit for both Jew and non-Jew alike. I'm looking forward to the opening of the Jewish museum right next door.

A very solemn monument that seems to "appear" out of nowhere. I most definetly recommend you to visit this with either a guide or a local, as it is definetly worth knowing the history behind it. What really cought my eye is the building that is being built right behind it, it is going to be a museum that, by... More
