Remembering the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

On April 19, 1943, the Warsaw ghetto uprising began after German troops and police entered the ghetto to deport its surviving inhabitants. Jewish insurgents inside the ghetto resisted these efforts. This was the largest uprising by Jews during World War I| and the first significant urban revolt against German occupation in Europe. By May 16, 1943, the Germans had crushed the uprising and deported surviving ghetto residents to concentration camps and killing centers.

Join us as we retell the story of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The story is a testament to the resilience and bravery of the Jewish people in the face of unimaginable horror. Let us remember the sacrifices made by those who fought and perished in the struggle for freedom. Their memory serves as a reminder of the importance of standing up against injustice, even in the darkest of times.
