Budynek przy Krochmalnej 6, ciekawy element z numerem domu |
Wiecie na pewno, że na moim blogu często zamieszczam informacje o miejscach w które chciałabym pojechać.
Najtragiczniejsze dzieje tej ulicy to okres II wojny światowej. W listopadzie 1940 wschodnia część ulicy Krochmalnej znalazła się w granicach warszawskiego getta. Dziś można dobrze ustalić jak to wyglądało, bowiem w miejscach gdzie stał mur, zostały wmurowane specjalne oznaczenia z opisem.
Kiedy tak spacerowałam ulicą Krochmalną, mijałam Halę Mirowską, Żelazną Bramę, pozostałości po murach getta, czułam klimat tego miejsca. Warto czasem poznać historię "zwykłych" miejsc.

You know for sure that on my blog I often post information about places I would like to go.
Today I would like to write about a place that I have recently visited - Krochmalna Street in Warsaw. Actually, I came to visit the Polin Museum, but this is a topic for a completely different post.
The street is located in Wola, in a place where you can still see traces of "old" Warsaw. In the past, the street started at Gnojna Street (a bar at Fat Josek's) and was "cut off" after the war.
The genesis of the name is already interesting. It used to be Lawendowa Street, which was related to the numerous gardens situated along it. The current name: Krochmalna Street was given to it in 1770 and it was related to the starch factory operating here.
In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries (until the war) Krochmalna Street was inhabited mainly by the Jewish population. Poverty and harlotry reigned in the area, and illegal trade flourished and was ruled by a criminal world. If someone has read the novel "Kariera Nikodem Dyzma" (by Tadeusz Dołęga-Mostowicz), he may remember that Józef Boczek was killed in Krochmalna Street.
Isaak Singer, who later became a Nobel laureate in literature, lived for a short time (from 1908 to 1914) at 10 Krochmalna Street. But this is not the end of the famous names associated with Krochmalna Street. In the years 1911–1912, at number 92, the building of the Orphans' Home was erected by Janusz Korczak and Stefania Wilczyńska.
The most tragic history of this street dates back to World War II. In November 1940, the eastern part of Krochmalna Street was within the borders of the Warsaw ghetto. Today, you can determine what it looked like, because in the places where the wall stood, special markings with a description were embedded.
When I was walking along Krochmalna Street, I passed Hala Mirowska, the Iron Gate, the remains of the ghetto walls, I felt the atmosphere of this place. Sometimes it is worth getting to know the history of "ordinary" places.
