Warsaw ghetto walls Both sides of street?

This is a photo of the same street, even of the same place, from 1939. It is Swietokrzyska Street. Was this street on the border of the ghetto? If not, maybe the ruins on both sides were simply walled up during the war so that people would not enter?

These were not Ghetto Walls - just "aryan" part of German-occupied Warsaw! The Ghetto was located north and northwest of these photos.
Existed part Warsaw's Ghetto wall:

I've seen footage of pedestrian bridges over streets so denizens could go from one block to another without "leaving the ghetto".

These are two different places - not every walls in occupied Warsaw were a ghetto wall. Please remember that the Germans and Austrians from SS/SD and Ordnungspolizei murdered, apart from thousands of Jews in the Shoah, also thousands of Poles during the nearly six years of extermination (obviously not comparable to the genocide of the Jews - although the Slavs were second in the order of extermination in Generalplan Ost).

Thank you both for making this clear explanation of these walls...!1

The narration in "The World at War" is where I got my information. Nobody's perfect so take it with a grain of salt.

No problem OpanaPointer - I know Ost Europa is "terra incognita", just like their inhabitants - even for serious historians like Christopher Brownining.
