Ghetto Victims Memorial - Niecała Street
Pomnik Ofiar Getta
The Monument to the Memory of the Ghetto Victims was unveiled in 1962 at the crossing Kowalska and Lubartowska Street, near to the former ghetto entrance, today's Ghetto Victims Square. The monument is in the symbolic shape of a matzevah and bears a quote from “The Song of the Murdered Jewish People” by Yitzchak Katzenelson (1886-1944): “I am searching for my dead in every hill of ash”. Due to ongoing construction works in the square, the monument has been temporarily moved to Niecała Street. The monument is located close to the house at 3 Niecała Street, where the Jewish Humanities Gimnazjum and the Tarbut School were located before WWII, as well as one of the postwar shelters that helped Holocaust survivors begin life anew. The place comprised a night shelter, a school, a preschool and a day care centre. A sukkah, or a booth for the holiday of Sukkot, with removable roofing, can be seen at the nearby house at number 6.
