  • Jewish visitors from the United States from Hashomer Hatzair, the international Jewish Socialist-Zionist secular organization, lay flowers and light candles at a monument on a mound that is a mass grave and the former command bunker of Jewish partisans who fought in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising on the 75th anniversary of the uprising on April 19, 2018 in Warsaw, Poland. Approximately 75 years ago about a hundred Jewish partisans fought to the death against encircling German troops in the last days of the uprising at the spot at Mila Street 18 that was once deep in the Ghetto and surrounded by dense buildings made of brick. The Warsaw Ghetto was a prison created by the German military during its occupation of Warsaw during World War II. Starting in 1940, 400,000 Jews were confined to a walled-in neighborhood of 3.4 square kilometers under horrific conditions. With assistance from Polish partisans the Jews rose up in armed resistance in 1943 and held off the Germans for several weeks until the Germans annihilated the ghetto, killing 13,000 people. In all 392,000 Jews from the Warsaw ghetto were killed, most of them after deportation to the Treblinka death camp. (
