The Holocaust and the subsequent destruction of Warsaw in WWII erased virtually all remnants of the bustling pre-war Jewish community’s presence in the city, but there is one place where it is still possible to sense this lost age. There are two rows of dilapidated tenement houses dating from 1880-1900 on ul. Próżna (B-3) showing what Warsaw must have looked like, and adding to this is a series of giant posters hanging outside the buildings that depict members of the disappeared Jewish community. These photos are there thanks to a project called ‘I ciągle widzę ich twarze’ (I can still see their faces) which was created by Gołda Tencer, a Polish actress with Jewish origins who is the founder and director of the Shalom Foundation. In 1994 she appealed to people to send in photographs of Polish Jews so that an exhibition could be created commemorating those who died. The incredible response netted over 9,000 photographs, some from survivors and their families, some from Polish neighbours or friends of those killed. Then in 2008 the ‘I can still see their faces exhibition’ was mounted in ul. Próżna as part of the commemorations of the 65th anniversary of the Ghetto Uprising. The effect is quite stunning, particularly when you consider this street was once bustling with life, full of traders, stores and Jewish families. Located in the heart of a now modern city, this really is a place worth a moment of your time, especially since the tenements are set to be demolished soon as part of major renovations to the street.
