Jerusalem Alley, A Symbolic Warsaw Street: when Soviet and Polish troops met in Warsaw on January 17, 1945, it was in Jerusalem Alley that they met. At that time, Warsaw was 95% destroyed and this street, like the rest, was like a cemetery in the city of the dead. But today, 15 years later, the scene has changed considerably. There are still a few ruins to be seen, true, but for the most part, the street has been entirely rebuilt. Most of the older buildings are in the grimly-blunt Soviet-style of architecture; but in more recent structures, even this changed. And since the October 1956 revolution, a new wind of dignity and freedom has blown down the street. It is no longer an eastern city, nor is it entirely a western one. But one thing is certain, it is Polish. Pictured: a shoe store window draws a big crowd in goods hungry Warsaw.
