Harry Payne - The Siege of Chaluz

Sound the horns!

[josemimontalban]

El Corazón del León. (*UK,1157-1199) Ricardo I, apodado "Corazón de León", por los árabes fue hijo de Enrique II Plantagenet y de Leonor de Aquitania, nacido en Oxford. Duque de Aquitania en 1169, se alzó dos veces contra su padre antes de sucederlo en 1189, y también se convierte en el Duque de Normandía y Conde de Anjou. En ese mismo año, se pone al frente de un ejército de 8.000 hombres y una flota de 300 barcos, emprendió la Tercera Cruzada. Ni es muy previsor y pronto se queda sin provisiones, de modo que tiene que pedir auxilio a su futuro suegro el rey de Navarra Sancho IV. Tomó Chipre y Acre (1191), Arsuf y Jaffa (1192), y concertó la paz con Saladino, jefe de los ejércitos musulmanes, quien permitió a los cristianos el acceso al Santo Sepulcro. Apresado en su viaje de regreso por su enemigo Leopoldo I de Austria, Ricardo fue entregado al emperador de Alemania Enrique VI (1193-1194), quien exigió por el monarca inglés un enorme rescate, que pagó finalmente Hubert Walter, arzobispo de Canterbury y justicia mayor de Inglaterra. A partir de 1194, "Corazón de León" hubo de guerrear contra Felipe Augusto de Francia, que durante el cautiverio de Ricardo había conspirado con el hermano menor de éste, Juan sin Tierra. Ricardo murió a consecuencia de una herida de flecha recibida en el sitio del castillo de Chaluz. https://www.instagram.com/p/CWrSJ5MIYcq/?utm_medium=tumblr

There were so many brave men and women that KNEW they will die by revolting and did so anyway. My “favorites” (as much as you can favor the horrible things that had happened to these people) are:

Janusz Korczak He was a doctor and children book novelist in Poland who - after being too old to volunteer for the army to stop the Nazis from coming - offered his help to the jewish orphanage of Warsaw. When the Nazis came to collect the 192 children, he was offered “sanctuary” multiple times. He refused and decided to go with the staff and children. He made the children and staff dress in their best clothes (including each child having their favorite toy or book) and walk to the trains themselves like a procession. The officer there recognized him as the author of his favorite children book and offered him escape which he refused again. He was never heard of again, most likely gassed with his children upon arrival.

The Jews of 19. April 1943 When the Warsaw Ghetto only held the last few jews, the SS decided to finally get rid of the last ~750 people there on easter sunday/Pessach 1943 (when the non-jewish public would be distracted by the festivities). The jews were aware of that plan. They had prepared themselves for weeks, got whatever weapons they could find, had created a tunnel system with hiding spots. When the nazis came, they were surprised by an extremely violent surprise attack. Instead of a quick sweep, they lost 60 men and retreated. The jews celebrated to the point where they even kissed the 200 young people that had fallen, in gratitude for their sacrifice. For 3 weeks they could fight back, be it with suicide bombers in the form of young women that pulled grenades out of their slippers, young men with handguns and even children and elderly that threw themselves against the enemy to at least take out one or two. When the last few jews (mostly women with young children) were about to be seized, they threw themselves off the buildings to avoid the gas chamber. Instead of a quick and quiet deportation, the ghetto ended up in flames, with poisonous gas coming out of the sewers and basement windows. Barely any jew was captured (alive that is). No non-jewish citizen could ever claim to have NOT been aware of what was happening to the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto thanks to that act. It also served as inspiration for many other ghettos that went up in flames due to the local resistance fighters fighting back with everything they have.

The corpse burners of Treblinka Three jewish men were forced to burn the corpses of their fellow inmates in the Treblinka death camp. After weeks of quietly doing that, they succeeded in a sudden surprise attack, killing some of the staff, achieving control over the weapon deposit and setting the gas chambers and some barracks on fire before being shot.

The Chaluz-Movement The Chaluz-Movement managed - as part of the Hachschara (the preparation to have all Jews return to Palestina) - to hide thousands of children and teens. Private households, youth hostels, dormitories and schools were some of the official places that secretly hid the kids. Some places had up to 50 kids at their locations (all places of Hamburg together had over 800 by the time the Nazis got them all), keeping them safe, fed and prepared for the long journey. All of the 32 places were captured by 1941, some were even seized by the nazis and turned into work camps for the residing teens. Of the 302 kids that the movement had attempted to get to safety, 168 had managed to escape to Sweden, England or Palestina. Of the other 75, 35 survived the camps, the rest is still being looked for.

Shimon and Justyna Dränger The couple had agreed that if one of them is captured, the other would volunteer to get captured as well. Both were in the resistance, only Shimon ended up being captured, so Justyna naturally went to the camp with him. They were one of the few that managed to escape the death camps. They went into hiding, published a weekly underground newspaper (talking about the situation in the camps, activities by both nazis and jewish activists), even tried to rebuild the underground movement. Shimon ended up being captured again, Justyna followed him and they were killed not even a month later. Justyna managed to write a very elaborate text about the jewish attempts to fight back during that month on toilet paper which got saved and is one of the most important papers on jewish resistance of that time today.
