In 1948, on the fifth anniversary of the ghetto liquidation, a plaque commemorating the area of the former ghetto was dedicated, and the square was renamed Ghetto Heroes’ Square (Plac Bohaterów Getta). However, under communist rule in the late 1940s, the memory of the Jewish past was suppressed. Except for its new name, the square contained no signs, plaques or any other indications of the tragic events that befell the city’s Jewish inhabitants. Instead, it once again became a bus depot.
In 1983, while Poland was still a communist country, the Kraków Civic Committee for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites renovated the ghetto wall in Ulica Lwowska. A commemorative plaque, with an inscription in Polish and Yiddish, was placed there.
In 1989, after the fall of communism, the memory of the Jews of Kraków was gradually restored. The Mosberg family put a plaque on another surviving fragment of the former ghetto wall.
