The tenant house at Franciszkanska Street (close to the Wolborska Street and Smugowa Street). The one of the first tenants on the ghetto side (the gate was placed just about 100 meters away). The old tenants of old Baluty and Marysin haven’t been renovated for decades - I dare say, they haven’t been renovated at all since the pre war time. As you can see, some of the windows have the original wooden frames.

Night time traffic at the junction of Zgierska street,the Wojska Polskiego Street (Polish Army Street) and the Church Square (Plac Kościelny) with the Gothic-revival church of the assumption of St Marry. Place of the historical importance of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto - the place where the wooden bridge was built. The bridge was to link two parts of the ghetto over the Zgierska Street, that was excluded of the ghetto for the transit traffic (only the sidewalks and the houses were in the ghetto while the street road itself was behind the fence). The place where the bridge was placed is whole right side of the photo (almost from the centre). This place haven’t changed much. Camera: Samsung GX10.
