19 April 1943 #Passover in #Warsaw Ghetto

"Blessed be the Holy One who appointed the time when the days of slavery should end…
in every generation there have risen up against us those who sought to destroy us, but the Holy One, Blessed be He, delivered us from their hands"

from the website:
"April 19 marks the anniversary of the #WarsawGhettoUprising—the largest and most heroic act of #Jewish armed resistance during World War II, and the first civilian uprising in occupied #Europe. For the past 13 years, POLIN Museum has organized the #Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Campaign, a global initiative that has engaged thousands of participants—both Jewish and non-Jewish—from #Poland and beyond.

We encourage communities around the world to learn about the events that took place on April 19th, 1943, and to share online what the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising means to you. You will find various materials and resources to help spread the campaign, as well as educational items that can be used for schools."

[Note: this campaign has many sponsors, and a major one is the World Jewish Congress, which wholeheartedly supports Israel. :-( - PL]

Today in Labor History April 19, 1943: The 50,000 Jews remaining in Warsaw began a desperate and heroic attempt to resist Nazi deportation to extermination camps. Their armed insurgency became known as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. There had been over 3 million Jews living in Poland prior to the Nazi occupation. The Nazis rounded them up and forced them into crowded ghettos. The Warsaw ghetto had 250,000-300,000 Jews living in abominable conditions. Roughly this same number of Jews were slaughtered at the Treblinka concentration camp within the two months the Nazis started deporting them. The Jews managed to stockpile Molotov cocktails, hand grenades, military uniforms, and even a few pistols and some explosives. However, the resistance was crushed by the Nazis on May 16.

Jewish women and children forcibly removed from a bunker by Schutzstaffel (SS) units for deportation either to Majdanek or Treblinka extermination camps (1943). The are walking with their hands in the air, with Nazi soldiers aiming guns at them.

April 19, 1943: On this date, "a group of Jews living inside the Nazi-created Warsaw Ghetto in Poland began an armed uprising against Hitler’s occupying forces. The month-long fight represented the largest and most robust retaliation against SS troops who were systematically murdering millions of European Jews."
