Two sections of the wall that isolated the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II should be added to a list of historical monuments, according to a regional conservation official in Poland, cited on Tuesday by the Associated Press.
The Germans destroyed the ghetto and most of the wall in 1943. A proposal to list the red brick wall still standing at 53 Sienna Street says the barrier should be protected as a witness to history and preserved for future generations. It says monument status would give legal protection to a "unique historical memento, priceless to the Jewish and the Polish nation."
