Avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Varsovie était un lieu central de vie et de culture juives en Pologne. Pendant la guerre, les Nazis mirent en place des ghettos et forcèrent la population juive à y vivre de manière misérable dans des endroits surpeuplés. À son apogée, le ghetto de Varsovie, le plus grand d'Europe, contenait plus de 400 000 Juifs qui luttaient quotidiennement pour leur survie.
