Editing Warsaw Ghetto (section)

== Preserving remnants of the Warsaw Ghetto ==
The ghetto was almost entirely leveled during the Uprising; however, a number of buildings and streets survived, mostly in the "small ghetto" area, which had been included into the Aryan part of the city in August 1942 and was not involved in the fighting. In 2008 and 2010 [[Warsaw Ghetto boundary markers]] were built along the borders of the former Jewish quarter, where from 1940 to 1943 stood the gates to the ghetto, wooden footbridges over Aryan streets, and the buildings important to the ghetto inmates. The four buildings at 7, 9, 12 and 14 [[Próżna Street]] are among the best known original residential buildings that in 1940–41 housed Jewish families in the Warsaw Ghetto. They have largely remained empty since the war. The street is a focus of the annual Warsaw Jewish Festival. In 2011–2013 buildings at number 7 and 9 underwent extensive renovations and have become office space.<ref name=RMi>{{cite web |title=Book review |author=Robert Mielcarek |work=Rafał Chwiszczuk, Ulica Próżna i dzielnica żydowska w Warszawie, Warszawa: Austriackie Forum Kultury, 2013 |publisher=Forum Żydów Polskich |url=http://www.fzp.net.pl/ksiazki/ulica-prozna-i-dzielnica-zydowska-w-warszawie |year=2016 |access-date=December 11, 2016 |archive-date=August 6, 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190806185843/http://www.fzp.net.pl/ksiazki/ulica-prozna-i-dzielnica-zydowska-w-warszawie |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref name=UMSW>{{cite web |title=Miejsca historyczne związane z ludnością żydowską w Warszawie |trans-title=Historic places connected to Jewish people of Warsaw |work=Judaica |url=http://www.warsawtour.pl/warszawa-dla-ka-dego/judaica-1848.html |publisher=Urząd m.st.

The [[Nożyk Synagogue]] also survived the war. It was used as a horse stable by the German Wehrmacht. The synagogue has today been restored and is once again used as an active synagogue. The best preserved [[Fragments of the ghetto walls in Warsaw|fragments of the ghetto wall]] are located 55 Sienna Street, 62 Złota Street, and 11 Waliców Street (the last two being walls of the pre-war buildings). There are two [[Monument to the Ghetto Heroes|Warsaw Ghetto Heroes' monuments]], unveiled in 1946 and 1948, near the place where the German troops entered the ghetto on 19 April 1943. In 1988 a stone monument was built to mark the Umschlagplatz.<ref name=UMSW/>

There is also a small memorial at [[Miła 18|ul. Miła 18]] to commemorate the site of the Socialist ŻOB underground headquarters during the Ghetto Uprising. In December 2012, a controversial statue of a kneeling and praying [[Adolf Hitler]] was installed in a courtyard of the ghetto. The artwork by Italian artist, [[Maurizio Cattelan]], entitled "HIM", has received mixed reactions worldwide. Many feel that it is unnecessarily offensive, while others, such as Poland's chief rabbi, [[Michael Schudrich]], feel that it is thought-provoking, even "educational".<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/dec/28/adolf-hitler-statue-warsaw-ghetto |title=Controversy over Adolf Hitler statue in Warsaw ghetto |newspaper=The Guardian |date=2012-12-28 |access-date=2016-08-11}}</ref>
