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).
