    Event History
    This type of sewer manhole cover is typical for the center of Warsaw, former location of the ghetto. The sewers were used as both a means of escape for members of the resistance and a way to smuggle material in and out of the ghetto. During the Warsaw uprising of August 1944, Jewish survivors of the Warsaw ghetto who were living in hiding on the "Aryan side" served as guides through the sewers for Polish underground fighters.
