A giant palm tree serves as a poignant reminder of the many Jews who once called Warsaw home.
Joanna Rajkowska, a Jewish-Polish artist, designed and constructed the artificial date palm in 2002. After visiting Jerusalem and seeing the palm trees that dotted the landscape, she decided to use that image to honor an often-forgotten fragment of Warsaw’s cultural heritage. The final result is a tree called Greetings from Jerusalem Avenue.
