The forecourt

This gathering place is bordered on one side by a wall with seven bas-reliefs, which represent the persecution of the Jews, made in 1982 by the sculptor Arbit Blatas, and on the other side by the Wall of names.
In the axis of the parvis, the bronze cylinder bears the names of the Warsaw Ghetto and camps such as: Auschwitz, Belzec, Bergen-Belsen, Birkenau, Buchenwald, Chelmno, Dachau, Majdanek, Mauthausen, Sobibor, Struthof, Treblinka.

PRACTICAL: The Parvis is visible during the opening hours of the Memorial.
