How does one visit a place that no longer exists? Is it possible to write a guide to a part of Warsaw that has been wiped out, along with the streets, the buildings, the prayer houses, and, above all, the people who lived there? Can the story of whatis absent be told by memorials? wonders the author, Masza Makarowa.
The guide suggests sightseeing routes marked on specially prepared maps. The stories about individual sites are accompanied by archival photographs, among others from the collections of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum, and photographs of contemporary Warsaw. The publication also includes a list of all the memorials in the former ghetto.
