At the verge of Warsaw’s Śródmieście district, in the shade of centuries-old trees, a unique space has been created where the past intertwines with the present, and memory takes on a tangible form. The Memorial Park, located within the Jewish Cemetery on Okopowa Street, serves as a place of symbolic remembrance for the deceased.
