The Russian poet Anna Akhmatova wrote of the victims of the Russian Gulag: “We would like to call you all by name.” So it is for the victims of the Holocaust: the need to remember lives cut short so that the Nazis will not have won and obliterated the memory of the Jewish people from the face of the earth. Six million died. Six million names and stories and hopes for the future. Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. Let us remember. Pictured: a Nazi guard beats a Jewish child in the Warsaw Ghetto. 1.5 million children died in the Holocaust. #warsawghetto #holocaustmemorialday #holocaustremembranceday #holocaust #shoah #jews #antisemitism #ww2 https://www.instagram.com/p/CrI5CO-gJI2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Den Juden Polens

Dem Andenken von Szmul Zygielbojm

Aus den polnischen Städten und Dörfern hört man keine Schreie der Verzweiflung, die Verteidiger des Warschauer Ghettos fielen wie eine Kampftruppe... Meine Worte tauche ich in Blut, mein Herz in großer Trauer, für euch, o polnische Juden, der polnische Wanderpoet.

Nicht Menschen, sondern blutige Hunde, und nicht Soldaten, sondern Henker kamen, um euch, eure Kinder und Frauen mit dem Tod zu treffen: Euch in Gaskammern zu ersticken, in Waggons mit Kalk zu töten und über die Sterbenden, Wehrlosen und Erschreckten zu spotten.

Doch ihr habt den Stein erhoben, um ihn auf den Kanonier zu werfen, der das Geschütz aufstellte, um euer Haus vollständig zu zerstören... Söhne der Makkabäer! Auch ihr könnt sterben, den hoffnungslosen Kampf aufnehmen, begonnen im September.

Dies muss wie in Stein in das polnische Gedächtnis eingraviert werden: Unser gemeinsames Haus wurde zerstört und das vergossene Blut verbindet uns, uns vereint die Mauer der Hinrichtung, uns vereint Dachau, Auschwitz, jedes namenlose Grab und jedes Gefängnisgitter.

Der gemeinsame Himmel wird über dem zerstörten Warschau leuchten, wenn wir unseren blutigen, langjährigen Kampf mit dem Sieg beenden: Jeder Mensch wird Freiheit, ein Stück Brot und das Recht erhalten und eine höchste Rasse wird entstehen: edle Menschen.

Władysław Broniewski

Żydom Polskim Pamięci Szmula Zygielbojma

Z polskich miast i miasteczek nie słychać krzyków rozpaczy, padli, jak hufiec bojowy, warszawscy obrońcy getta… Słowa me we krwi nurzam, a serce w ogromnym płaczu, dla was, o Żydzi polscy, polski tułaczy poeta.

Nie ludzie, lecz psy okrwawione, i nie żołnierze, lecz kaci przyszli, by śmiercią porazić was, wasze dzieci i żony: gazem w komorach wydusić, wapnem w wagonach wytracić i szydzić z umierających, bezbronnych i przerażonych.

Lecz wyście podnieśli kamień, by cisnąć nim kanoniera, który nastawiał działo, by dom wasz zburzyć do szczętu… Synowie Machabeuszów! i wy potraficie umierać, podjąć bez cienia nadziei walkę, we Wrześniu zaczętą.

Oto, co trzeba wyryć, jak w głazie, w polskiej pamięci: wspólny dom nam zburzono i krew przelana nas brata, łączy nas mur egzekucyj, łączy nas Dachau, Oświęcim, każdy grób bezimienny i każda więzienna krata.

Wspólne zaświeci nam niebo ponad zburzoną Warszawą, gdy zakończymy zwycięstwem krwawy nasz trud wieloletni: każdy człowiek otrzyma wolność, kęs chleba i prawo i jedna powstanie rasa, najwyższa: ludzie szlachetni.

Vladka Meed's false papers, courtesy of the USHMM Last year I posted my 11-part series on the life and actions of a woman who smuggled guns and explosives into the #WarsawGhetto in preparation for that ghetto's planned Uprising. Her code name was Vladka Meed. The #WarsawGhettoUprising took place on April 19, 1943, Erev Pesach, 76 years ago, today. You may find below the story of Vladka, the Jewish Fighting Organization, and Polish Jewry's fight to survive under Nazi rule: https://bit.ly/2Us1DqD.

« I am my ancestors’ wildest dream! » This post is probably the most special and insightful picture/quote I can write to describe my time here in #Poland. My feet straddle what’s left of the path denoting the #Warsawghetto. On the left, an Aryan, racist society; the right, an over-crowded, unkempt three square kilometers prohibiting #Jews from living their lives. Nearly 80 years ago, Jews in Poland were persecuted and executed just for being, let alone being where my left foot stands. I cannot stress enough that we #neverforget what happened to us during that time. However, we all need to stress more the fact that we are #resilient and how we #resist. Our stories must be told and we must show how Jews today are visible and continue to thrive despite our past and tragedies. #jewish #judaism #visibility #jewishvoices #living #alive #amyisraelchai #saytheirnames (à Ghetto Warsaw) https://www.instagram.com/p/BullkxYHwTI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=n2gxkfl44k69

74 years ago today, Jewish resistance fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto—many in their teens and twenties—launched a sustained guerrilla battle in response to a planned mass deportation to the death camps.

They fought without hope of victory, but with the goal that they would not die in silence. Poorly armed and supplied, they managed to hold off the German army from April 19th to May 16th. It was the largest single revolt by the Jews during the Holocaust.

Their incredible heroism still resonates, and charges us to live lives that pay tribute to their resistance and sacrifice.

May their memories forever be a blessing and inspiration to us all.

On November 16th 1940, the Nazis and their willing accomplices began bricking up the Warsaw Ghetto (a task which took just 2 days), sealing the fate of around 450,000 Jewish men, women and children. It is estimated that of the 450,000, around 100,000 died in the ghetto from starvation and disease. Conditions were appalling, with a third of Warsaw's population crowded into an area that was just 2.4% of the city's surface area. Food rations stood at just 10% of those required for survival. In July 1942, the Nazis began deporting those who had survived the ghetto to the Treblinka Death Camp. There is one important fact you should bear in mind about this darkest of chapters in Jewish history - most of those who participated in this vile depraved act were not SS or even members of the Nazi party. They were willing accomplices. We will never forget those murdered, nor will we ever forgive the evil perpetrators of this most heinous of crimes against our people. NEVER AGAIN. #neveragain #stopantisemitism #warsawghetto Via Likud UK

vintagecinemaart Kanal-A Rare Original Vintage Japanese poster for Andrzej Wajda's 1957 Polish Resistance WW2 Drama with Teresa Izewska, Tadeusz Janczar, Wienczyslaw Glinski In 1944, during the Warsaw uprising against the Nazis, Polish Lieutenant Zadra and his resistance fighters use the sewer system to escape the German encirclement. A symbolic depiction of hell on Earth, set in the last days of 1944. Lieutenant Zadra is commanding a company in a desperate battle amidst the city ruins. Facing German offense, Zadra is commanded to retreat through the sewer system ('Kanal'). Zadra and his men are reluctant to do so, as it would indicate that they have lost the battle, but obey the orders. However, as the men (and women) retreat, it becomes clear that their desperate attempt to flee from the battle will result only in more death and suffering... One of the finest Polish films ever made about the Warsaw resistance during the final weeks of occupation, Kanal towers above other efforts as a deep and emotional condemnation of war itself. There are remarkable scenes in this film that are bleak yet somehow so visually poetic that they uplift in extraordinary ways. What seems remarkable is the positive spirit, humor, and love of life that most of the characters display in the face of their passage into the labyrinthine underworld of Warsaw. That this movie was made is a near miracle, since it squeaked by barely 3 years after Stalin died. The Polish film industry was just beginning to suggest that Poles could struggle against the Germans without Soviet "fraternal" help. The real hidden message of the film is a metaphorical struggle against Soviet oppression. Wajda seems to suggest this by quoting Szczepanski (1944): "... But know this: from our tombstones A victorious new Poland be born And you will not walk this land You Red Ruler of bestial forces!" #kanal #resistance #polishresistance #stalin #nazioccupation #warsawghetto #polishfilm #andrzejwadja #teresaiżewska #drama #war #sewers #1944 #1950s #japaneseposter #warsawuprising #polishmilitary #battle #heroic #vintagemovieposter #vintagemovieposters #vintagecinemaart #originalmovieposters #originalmovieposter

On #ThisDayinHistory 75 years ago, Nazi forces attempting to clear out Warsaw’s Jewish ghetto are met by gunfire from Jewish resistance fighters, and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising begins. Shortly after the German occupation of Poland began, the Nazis forced the city’s Jewish citizens into a “ghetto” surrounded by barbwire and armed SS guards. The Warsaw ghetto occupied an area of less than two square miles but soon held almost 500,000 Jews in deplorable conditions. Disease and starvation killed thousands every month, and beginning in July 1942, 6,000 Jews per day were transferred to the Treblinka concentration camp. An underground resistance group was established in the ghetto–the Jewish Combat Organization (ZOB)–and limited arms were acquired at great cost. On April 19, Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler announced that the ghetto was to be emptied of its residents in honor of Hitler’s birthday the following day, and more than 1,000 S.S. soldiers entered the confines with tanks and heavy artillery. Although many of the ghetto’s remaining 60,000 Jewish dwellers attempted to hide themselves in secret bunkers, more than 1,000 ZOB members met the Germans with gunfire and homemade bombs. Suffering moderate casualties, the Germans initially withdrew but soon returned, and on April 24 launched an all-out attack against the Warsaw Jews. Thousands were slaughtered. The ZOB took to the sewers to continue the fight, but on May 8 their command bunker fell to the Germans and their leaders committed suicide. By May 16, the ghetto was firmly under Nazi control, and mass deportation of the last Warsaw Jews to Treblinka began. During the uprising, some 300 German soldiers were killed, and thousands of Warsaw Jews were massacred. Virtually all those who survived the Uprising to reach Treblinka were dead by the end of the war. #1943 #History #WWII #WarsawGhetto 📷: United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (at Howland Township, Trumbull County, Ohio)
