Unfortunately, never. Well over a year before the Soviet Army entered Warsaw, the ghetto had been dissolved. Nearly all those inhabitants who had not died of starvation and/or disease had been sent to extermination camps (mainly Treblinka) and gassed.
By the end of May 1943 the Warsaw Ghetto had ceased to exist: all the buildings had been destroyed and the last remaining fighters from the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising had been killed ... The Nazis then established an ordinary concentration camp on the site.

The Warsaw Ghetto was established by the German Governor-General Hans Frank on October 16, 1940. Frank ordered Jews in Warsaw and its suburbs rounded up and herded into the Ghetto. At this time, the population in the Ghetto was estimated to be 400,000 people, about 30%[1] of the population of Warsaw. However, the size of the Ghetto was about 2.4%[2] of the size of Warsaw.
The ghetto was split into two areas, the "small ghetto", generally inhabited by richer Jews and the "large ghetto", where conditions were more difficult. The two ghettos were linked by a single footbridge. The Nazis then closed the Warsaw Ghetto from the outside world on November 16, 1940, by building a wall and deploying armed guards. In one location, a group of Jews was forced to build this wall and were told that a 10-foot cement wall had to be built in 24 hours. When it was not, the Jews were put in a line and every tenth person was executed.
