The Warsaw Jewish Ghetto
However, we were not looking for the Wild Red Boar. We were looking for the spot where the iconic bridge that linked the little Jewish ghetto and the big Jewish ghetto used to be. The Wild Red Boar just happens to be right on that corner of Zelezna and Choloda. This is what the corner looks like today.
Poles and Germans passed freely over the bridge between the ghettos. The ghetto walls were built by Jews with Jewish money.
The wall encompassed 1.3 square miles. The most people held inside the ghetto at one time was 460,000.
Isn’t it amazing how many cars appeared in just a few minutes? I think they were all going to the Wild Red Boar. I digress. You can see two shiny poles on the left and two standing on the right. I mean poles, not Poles. And Poles are never shiny anyway. At night, a laser light replica of the old footbridge that linked the ghettos appears across the road.
