Ulica Nalewki was a street in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, which until World War II was one of the main roads of the city. Nalewki was the main street of the Jewish northern district, which was also known as the Nalewkowsko-muranowska district. During the Second World War it was one of the main streets of the ghetto established in the city. On April 19, 1943, at dawn, through the gate of Nalewki, German forces entered the ghetto, accompanied by Latvian and Ukrainian collaborating soldiers under the command of Ferdinand von Sammern-Frankenegg, and encountered the armed resistance of the Jewish rebels. This event was the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. After the fall of the rebellion, the northern part of the street belonging to the ghetto was completely destroyed by the Germans. The corner of Nalewki and Deluga streets was a prominent battle site in the Warsaw Uprising. The street was destroyed in the war, in which Warsaw suffered considerable destruction and almost all its Jews perished, and was not rebuilt after it, like many other nearby streets.
