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

The Jewish Ghetto Memorial will bring tears to the eyes of anyone who visits, regardless of their faith. The horror that the Jews of Warsaw endured and the ultimate fate that awaited them should never be forgotten. This memorial is a fitting tribute.

Although we had a map were struggling to find this memorial. Kept asking but was directed round and round. No signage anywhere. Do understand and dont really want to complain, but dont think it was because we are daft but did spend 3 hours looking for it when in fact from our starting point should have taken 10 minutes. We...

It is important to acknowledge these memorials as tourists - it is a sign of respect to the town you're visiting. The Jewish Ghetto memorial is no different.
