Aleja Jana Pawla II
 |
This broad north-south road cuts straight through the middle of the former ghetto area. Many sections of it did not exist before the war. Now named after Pope John Paul II, it is the only road in Warsaw to be named after a living individual. The surrounding buildings give a good idea of the modern blocks that replaced the lost tenements. It is virtually impossible to imagine what the district looked like before 1943-1944.
