The Poguzhe district carries a significant legacy from the Second World War, wherein it was designated as a Jewish ghetto. Even 75 years post the termination of the war, the distinct impressions of those troublesome times continue to dwell in the district. Many aspects of it continue to remind the current populace of the war atrocities and the need to avert any such recurrence. Prominent landmarks include the renowned Plac Bohaterów Getta (Ghetto Heroes’ Square), the site where Jews were singled out for deportation to concentration camps. Another important site is a segment of the original Ghetto wall that now stands as a monument and a frequented destination for Jewish pilgrims. Residences that once housed thousands of displaced Jews still stand along with the pharmacy ‘Under the Eagle’. Walking these streets is a lesson in history, revealing compelling stories from the past.
