(IsraelNN.com) A tourist trail commemorating the Warsaw Ghetto’s Nazi-era boundary has been commemorated by the Polish government. Maps, plaques, and photos of the period were erected along the trail, although few artifacts of the Jewish ghetto remain.

Half of the six million Jews killed in the Holocaust were Polish. About 450,000 Jews were cramped behind the walls of a 785-acre ghetto in Warsaw. The residents who did not die from starvation or disease were deported to concentration camps. Around 7,000 remaining Jews died in a month-long revolt against the Nazis in April 1943.
