This week, Ben and Zach are joined by two organizers based in Palestine-Israel whose lives and political journeys inform powerful reflections on displacement, state oppression, solidarity, and the possibilities of joint struggle.Kastuś, originally from Minsk, has moved through various diasporic contexts—Belarus, Australia, and now Tel Aviv — shares his path from growing up under authoritarianism to joining the Belarusian uprising in 2020, and working with Kompass Media (Ep. 26) and on his own to alleviate harm and expose the reality of state (and state-backed) violence.Mohammed, a 48' Palestinian from Umm al-Fahm, brings deep insight from growing up as part of an activist family and community, and reflects on his experience as a Palestinian student at an Israeli university in the wake of October 7.Our conversation draws provocative parallels between the histories of European Jews and Palestinians—without flattening their differences—as a way to think about shared experiences of dispossession, repression, and resistance. On this 82nd anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, it is as important as ever to reject nationalist histories and challenge all forms of domination and hate.Learn more a bout the Polish-Belarusian (EU) Border Refugee crisis and consider supporting activists here!

In Episode 222 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg marks the 81st anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising by reviewing the new documentary on Jewish armed struggle against the Nazis, Resistance—They Fought Back. A nearly forgotten element of this struggle was the consciously anti-Zionist politics of some of the resistance leaders—most notably Jewish Combat Organization subcommander Marek Edelman, who was the last surviving leader of the Ghetto Uprising when he died in his native Poland in 2009. Edelman was a follower of the General Jewish Labor Bund, which rejected the colonization of Palestine in favor of fighting for a dignified and secure place for Jews within Europe. This history is especially critical at this moment in light of credible accusations that the self-proclaimed Jewish State is committing genocide in Gaza, and propagandistic efforts to cynically conflate anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism.

In the darkest hours of World War II, within the oppressive walls of the Warsaw Ghetto, a glimmer of unyielding spirit, resilience, and heroism sparked to life. Amidst the bleak landscape painted by Nazi atrocities, a group of determined individuals dared to challenge the seemingly insurmountable force of Hitler's tyranny. This is the tale of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, a saga of defiance and resilience, of tragedy and indomitable courage, etched in the annals of human history. Our story begins with the rise of an ideology that brought humanity to the brink of self-annihilation. As the Nazi party ascended to power in Germany, its tentacles spread across Europe, snuffing out the light of freedom, liberty, and human dignity. The Jews of Warsaw, once a thriving and vibrant community, found themselves shackled in the heart of darkness – the Warsaw Ghetto. This narrative aims to illuminate the lives of those trapped within the Ghetto walls and the oppressors who sought to obliterate them. It honors the defiance of those who fought back, the Jewish resistance groups that sprung from the depths of despair. Heroes like Mordecai Anielewicz and Paweł Frenkiel, who lit the torch of rebellion, their courage echoing through the ages. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was not just a fight against oppression; it was an assertion of human dignity in the face of extreme adversity. This story journeys through the twists and turns of the Uprising, the despair of the community, the brutality of the Nazis, and the determination of the fighters. This historical account, vivid with the colors of courage, defiance, and resilience, delves into the aftermath of the uprising and its far-reaching effects on World War II. It leads us to the remnants of the Ghetto, to memorials that stand in tribute to the fallen heroes, a testament to their unyielding spirit. Join us as we navigate the labyrinth of the past, unraveling the legacy of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, a poignant chapter in human history that continues to inspire awe and respect for the indomitable human spirit. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ww2-stories/support

In May 1943, the uprising in the Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw in Poland came to an end. The Germans had crushed the uprising and deported surviving ghetto residents to concentration camps. Simha "Kazik" Rotem was one of the Jewish fighters who survived to tell his story. He spoke to Louise Hidalgo in 2010. (Photo: Warsaw Ghetto.

On April 19, 1943 the SS attempted the final liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto, with the goal of deporting the last Jews of the Ghetto to the gas chambers at Treblinka. Most entered their bunkers and the fighters began firing on the SS who had entered the Ghetto in order to commence the deportation. The SS retreated and their commander Jurgen Stroop resorted to burning down the entire ghetto which eventually crushed the uprising and the survivors were deported to Treblinka and Majdanek. This episode will attempt to clarify some of these events and explore some of the questions that hindsight affords the luxury of speculating. Was the armed resistance an exercise in futility? Would perhaps more have survived had they not resisted the attempt to deport the last ones to Treblinka?

This week marked 80 years since the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising broke out. The fight, the largest act of armed resistance by Jews in World War II, started 19 April 1943 and lasted just under a month until 16 May. Three heads of state: Polish president Andrzej Duda, Israeli president Isaac Herzog and German president Frank-Walter Steinmeier were in Warsaw for the occasion. Steinmeier is the first-ever German head of state to be present at the commemoration in Warsaw. “I stand before you today and ask for your forgiveness for the crimes committed by Germans here,” Steinmeier said during his speech at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes in Warsaw's Muranów district. Here on The Debrief we have looked at some of the events taking place this year. On the line John Beauchamp speaks to curator from the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Zuzanna Schnepf-Kołacz, to discuss how different narratives make up the story of the Ghetto Uprising.
Join Aaron Fruh and Isaac Amon, Director of Academic Research at Jewish Heritage Alliance in a podcast conversation about Jewish resistance during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the Righteous Among the Nations who risked their lives to shelter Jews, and those who eventually made the Nazis accountable for their crimes.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. US bureau chief Jacob Magid and Diaspora affairs reporter Canaan Lidor join host Jessica Steinberg for today's podcast. Lidor offers color and perspectives from March of the Living in Poland, as some 9,000 people made the trek between two former Nazi-run death camps, in Oswiecim, Poland, marking Holocaust Remembrance Day. Magid discusses what US Senator Lindsey Graham told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the possibility of a normalization agreement with Saudi Arabia, following his recent visit in the region. Magid also dives into his analysis of the US visa waiver program, pushed by US Ambassador Tom Nides who wants Israel in the program, but has conditioned it upon allowing Palestinian-Americans to travel freely through Ben Gurion Airport. Steinberg mentions a new album of 13 songs, “Paskol Shlishi” (Third Soundtrack), written by headlining Israeli musicians, the latest endeavor that aims to connect the third and fourth generations to the tragedies and lessons of the Holocaust. Discussed articles include: At Auschwitz March of the Living, displays of Jewish unity in a sea of Israeli flags Halina Birenbaum survived the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

As we prepare for Holocaust Remembrance Day, Maine Municipal Association, Maine Chiefs of Police Association, and several other stakeholders had the opportunity to receive an important history lesson in context from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C.. In this episode, Rebecca Graham sits down with Noel March who facilitated bringing a special law enforcement program out of D.C. to Maine through the Maine Community Policing Institute and the Maine Holocaust and Human Rights Center of Maine. The U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum was able to take part of The Museum's Law, Justice, and the Holocaust Program on the road to Maine, one of only two places outside Washington D.C. who have benefitted from the learning opportunity. The signature program, Law Enforcement and Society: Lessons of the Holocaust (LEAS), is presented in partnership with the Anti-Defamation League. Established in 1999 at the request of DC Metropolitan Police Department, the program is suitable for recruit, in-service, and command professionals in law enforcement at the federal, state, and local levels. To date, this innovative program has reached more than 150,000 officers from the US and 80 countries worldwide.The internationally recognized date for Holocaust Remembrance Day corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar. It marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. In 2023, that day is Tuesday, April 18.

In this week's episode we are going to be hearing from two guests from the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews about a number of events taking place throughout the year. The phrase: “Don't be indifferent” was said during a speech given by Holocaust survivor Marian Turski at the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi German Auschwitz concentration camp in 2020. The phrase forms the inspiration for this year's programme at the Polin Museum of the History of Polish Jews, which is commemorating 80 years since the Ghetto Uprising of 1943. This year's events “will recall the life stories of those who, against despair, loneliness, starvation, thirst and fear fought for ‘every day, every hour, every minute' of staying alive with their nearest and dearest,” underlines a statement from Polin. “[We] will also pose questions about our future.” Host John Beauchamp is joined by Zuzanna Schnepf-Kołacz, curator of the “Around Us a Sea of Fire” exhibition and Polin spokeswoman Marta Dziewulska. “Thou Shalt Not Be Indifferent. 80th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising” programme [EN] A unique discovery – photographic film with images of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising [EN] Information on how to join the Daffodil campaign [PL]
From 1897 to 1921, the General Jewish Labour Bund operated as a Jewish socialist party in Russia, Lithuania, and Poland. Composed primarily of Yiddish-speaking, secular Jews, the Bund struggled on two fronts: for the construction of socialism to liberate the working class, and for national cultural autonomy to protect the rights of Eastern European Jews to their own institutions. The history of the Bund is filled with twists and turns, and complicated entanglements with the Russian Social Democratic Party, the Bolsheviks, and the Soviet Union. Although it was dissolved in 1921, the legacy of the Bund stretched far into the 20th century. In Poland, former Bundists organized resistance against antisemitism and played a key role in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising after the invasion of the Nazis. In the United States, Bundists created new socialist organizations and played pivotal roles in labor struggles, utopian movements, and more. Artist and writer Molly Crabapple joins Art for the End Times to discuss her upcoming book on the Bund, her personal history with Yiddish, and what struggles today can learn from the historical example of the Bundists.Post-Production: Dwayne GladdenHelp us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer: Donate: https://therealnews.com/donate-podSign up for our newsletter: https://therealnews.com/newsletter-podLike us on Facebook: https://facebook.com/therealnewsFollow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/therealnews

One of the most popular Haworthias is the Haworthia Fasciata or the Zebra Succulent. Haworthiopsis fasciata, or Zebra Plant, known for its zebra stripes, has pointy green leaves with bumps of white tubercles arranged in a zebra pattern. And one of the reasons that the zebra succulent is so popular is that it is so easy to grow. Haworthia fasciata is tough as nails, and you can even find it in all the major big box stores. Adrian is also remembered for his work as an entomologist. In the early 1800s, Adrian wrote one of the most authoritative works on British butterflies and moths. His book was called Lepidoptera Britannica. In his lifetime, Adrian named 22 new genera of moths. And finally, Adrian was also the first person to describe the Epiphyllum oxypetalum - commonly known as the Dutchman's Pipe Cactus, Queen of the Night, or Night-Blooming Cereus. 1889 Birth of E. Lucy Braun, American botanist, and ecologist. The "E" stood for Emma, but she always went by Lucy. In 1950, Lucy was the first woman elected president of the Ecological Society of America and an expert on deciduous forests of the eastern United States. A quiet, bright, and dedicated field scientist, Lucy worked as a botany professor at the University of Cincinnati. Lucy became interested in the outdoors as a child. Growing up on May Street in Cincinnati, Lucy's parents would take her and her older sister, Annette, by horse-drawn streetcar to the woods in Rose Hill so they could spend time botanizing. The girls were taught to identify wildflowers by their mother, and they also gathered specimens for their mother's herbarium. Lucy and Annette both got Ph.D.'s; Lucy in botany, Annette in Zoology. Neither ever married. Instead, they lived together at home in Mount Washington. The sisters turned the upstairs of the house into an indoor laboratory, and the gardens became their outdoor laboratory. Lucy was a go-getter. At the age of 80, she was still leading people on field trips in Ohio. Friends of Lucy said, "To be with her in the field was something. She made everything so real, so exciting she was just so knowledgeable." "She loved to be out in the field; rain wouldn't stop her. She could walk forever." 1943 On this day, the Warsaw Ghetto uprising broke out in German-occupied Poland during World War II to oppose Nazi Germany's final effort to transport the remaining ghetto population of Jews to death camps. In 2018, the Shalom foundation planted the Tree of Tears in a square in Warsaw. The tree is a weeping willow, and the leaves symbolize the tears of Jewish mothers who gave their children to Catholic mothers to save their lives. But April 19th is also remembered with yellow paper daffodils thanks to Marek Edelman, a cardiologist and uprising commander who passed away in 2009. When he was alive, Marek began receiving an anonymous bunch of daffodils on the anniversary of the uprising. Marek would lay the bouquet at the ghetto hero monument. Today the paper daffodils symbolize resilience and hope and represent the Yellow Star that Jewish residents were forced to wear during the Holocaust. Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation The Flower Book by Rachel Siegfried This book came out in 2017, and the subtitle is Let the Beauty of Each Bloom Speak For Itself. Before I tell you about Rachel's book, let me share a little bit about Rachel's background. In 2008, Rachel set up a flower farm called Green and Gorgeous in the Oxfordshire countryside. At Green and Gorgeous, Rachel not only provides flowers locally but also handles special events like weddings. In her spare time, Rachel and her partner, Ashley, offer floristry and gardening classes for amateurs and professionals. Rachel starts her book by walking us through how she arranges flowers. This is a little step-by-step tutorial - and if you've ever considered a career as a florist, you will get a little one-on-one here from Rachel. As Rachel mentions at the beginning of her book, she breaks down her arrangement process into three stages, which she calls the three F's: foliage, focal flowers, and then the final flourish. Rachel walks through several different arrangement types. She talks about how to do front-facing displays and centerpieces - and even a simple hand-tied bouquet. Of course, the main section of the book- the guts of the book - are these sixty flower profiles, and these are Rachel's favorite cut flowers. All of the flowers are broken down into chapters by seasons, which is very helpful because if we're working with cut flowers, we have to work with what's in season in our own gardens. One of the things that I especially appreciate about what Rachel does with each flower is she talks about how to best use them or profile them in an arrangement. She also gives little recipes that show how you can use these flowers and showcase them in their very best light. Remember, Rachel is not only a florist, but she's also a gardener. So she understands what it's like to cultivate these plants, how to grow them, the best time to pick them, how to use them, and how to maximize that blossom when you bring it indoors and put it in a container. I also want to quickly mention that the book organizes the flowers into chapters by season - and there is a special chapter devoted just to tropicals because they deserve a category all to themselves for their exotic look. The flower of tropical flowers are so architectural, and in many cases, these might not be plants that you're growing in your own garden. DK published this book - and when I see that, I know the book is going to be very clear, the photography is going to be very crisp and the instructions are going to be top-notch. So, lots to think about - and lots to learn from Rachel Siegfried, the talented gardener, and florist. This book has 224 pages of flower arranging and then sixty incredible flowers showcased in detail. You can get a copy of The Flower Book by Rachel Siegfried and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $8. Botanic Spark 1775 On this day, the American Revolutionary War began with the battles of Lexington and Concord. In New England, it became common garden lore to plant peas on the anniversary of the battle of Lexington so that they would be ready by the Fourth of July. Peas are easy to grow. They tolerate the cold weather in the shoulder seasons of spring and fall. Ripe peas are yellow, and historically, the French preferred a yellow pea. But since the 1600s, peas are mostly harvested when they are still immature ad green. And in China, it's the pea leaves that are considered a delicacy. Gregor Mendel experimented with peas to establish the modern science of genetics. During seven years in the mid-1800s, Gregor grew nearly 30,000 pea plants, and he took note of everything: their height, shape, and color. And it was Gregor who came up with all of the genetic terms and terminology that we still use today, like dominant and recessive genes.

A virtual event presentation by Dr. David I. Bernstein ABOUT THE EVENT: Mordechai Anilewicz was one of the leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in the spring of 1943. Yet alongside him in the ghetto was another Jewish leader, Emmanuel Ringleblum, who chose the pen over the sword. Two heroes, two different kinds of heroism, for their own time and place — and beyond. ABOUT THE SPEAKER: Dr, David I. Bernstein is the Dean of the Pardes Institute for Jewish Studies in Jerusalem. Previously he was the Director of Midreshet Lindenbaum. He has a BA and MA in History and a Ph.D. in Religious Education from NYU. His passion for Jewish history has taken him as historian-in-residence with student and adult groups to Poland, Prague, Budapest, Vienna, Berlin and other important European sites of Jewish life. -- DONATE: www.bit.ly/1NmpbsP For podcasts of VBM lectures, GO HERE: www.valleybeitmidrash.org/learning-library/ www.facebook.com/valleybeitmi...

Pasaż Simonsa (Simons' Passage) owes its name to the German industrialist and building's owner Albert Simons. The building complex consisted of two sections. The first part started being used in 1903, and construction as a whole was completed in 1906. The first building was in the shape of an arc that ran from Długa 50 to Nalewki 2. It was a grandiose five-storey edifice with a large number of windows, which was very modern for its time. The second one, built deep into Nalewki Street, was given the address Nalewki 2a. Today, this place is part of Krasiński Garden, which was enlarged after the war. Number 2a was, as the writer Moshe Zonshayn put it, ‘a Jewish kingdom', as it was here that many Jewish political (but also cultural and sporting) organisations found their headquarters at various times. From the beginning, the Pasaż building served a variety of functions; it was a shopping mall, an office building and a hotel. There were also numerous shops offering a wide range of goods and services. The building was located in the heart of Jewish Warsaw, where one of its most important and best known thoroughfares and its symbol, Nalewki Street, began (today a section of the former Nalewki is called Stare Nalewki). Among the Jewish organisations that operated at this address, it is worth mentioning the sports clubs: the Zionist Makabi and the socialist Morgnsztern. They not only had their offices here, but also gyms for various sporting sections. The Warsaw branches of both clubs had more than a thousand members by the end of the 1930s. The future hero of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Michał Klepfisz, father of the contemporary American-Jewish poet Irena Klepfisz, was active in Morgnsztern as a student. The building was destroyed as early as September 1939 and was located outside the ghetto walls. During the Warsaw Uprising, an insurgent redoubt was located in the building at 2a Nalewki Street. On 31st August 1944, the building was bombed and around 300 people died under the rubble. After the war, the ruins were demolished.

Avinoam Patt joins us to talk about the Warsaw ghetto uprising and its afterlife: How it was understood during the time of the Second World War itself, and how it's been remembered in the decades since. In our conversation today, the book offers a platform to think deeply about how the Ghetto uprising has been mythologized, the role of Warsaw in modern Jewish memory, and the history and memory of the Holocaust at large. Purchase The Jewish Heroes of Warsaw: The Afterlife of a Revolt on Amazon Avinoam Patt is the Doris and Simon Konover Chair of Judaic Studies at the University of Connecticut, where he is also the Director of the Center for Judaic Studies and Contemporary Jewish Life. Avi's research focuses on the history of the Holocaust and its aftermath, and his first book was Finding Home and Homeland: Jewish Youth and Zionism in the Aftermath of the Holocaust, which was published in 2009. He has also edited a number of volumes, and his most recent book which we'll be talking about today is The Jewish Heroes of Warsaw: The Afterlife of the Revolt, which was published in 2021 by Wayne State University Press. The Jewish Heroes of Warsaw, which is the starting point for our conversation today, explores how the Jews who fought in the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto uprising have been understood and why it matters. People outside of Europe knew about the uprising soon after it too place — but given the war's chaos, it was unclear who exactly had led the it. So in the months and years that followed, the Warsaw Ghetto uprising was instrumentalized, or put to use, by Jewish socialists, Zionists, and others who wanted to take credit for the uprising and thereby lend legitimacy to their own ideologically-driven understanding of the ghetto uprising and the Holocaust at large.

In this episode we look at the Yom Ha-Shoah and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Why did the Knesset establish Yom Ha-Shoah on the 27th of Nisan? Is this the best time to remember the Holocaust? Was the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising historically justified? What was the Historical footprint of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising? Did the Germans react to it? Did it make any change in how the Poles interacted with the Jews? Research notes: The best one volume book on the Holocaust is Martin Gilbert’s famed volume, The Holocaust https://www.amazon.com/dp/0006371949/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_XGSZNQTJE7NN9HAFHKF3, weaves narrative and has an incredible amount of very important information. His narrative on The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is only based on Zuckerman’s narrative and makes no mention of ZZW. Saul Freidlander’s The Years of Extermination: Nazi Germany and the Jews, 1939-1945 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UZQH8E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_7VZ62R64562HH89CPRGM is another very important one volume work on the Holocaust that was consulted. In terms of understanding the general attitude in Germany at the time Goldhagen’s somewhat controversial book, Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust https://www.amazon.com/dp/0679772685/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_SG1BJQR7SS2JW8EH98SS, is very key. Similarly, Lawrence Rees, Auschwitz: A New History https://www.amazon.com/dp/1586483579/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_98YXQ14TSASRW4VDB01S, is outstanding and has many unique interviews that a Jewish Historian would never get. One of the most important digests of general information that I use on the Warsaw Ghetto pre uprising is, Kiddush Hashem: Jewish Religious and Cultural Life in Poland During the Holocaust (English and Yiddish Edition) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0881251186/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_MR266PFSBV6RZMCYHN5W. In terms of the basic story of the Great Deportation of summer 42, The Warsaw Ghetto Diaries by Hillel Seidman (1997-12-04) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01FIZQO9M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_MH06VM2CX040AG2P2T2Q Moshe Arens carefully and relatively objectively examines the ZOB vs ZZW issues and also most of the basic story from before the Great Deportation through the Revolt in his monumental Flags Over the Warsaw Ghetto https://www.amazon.com/dp/1094763284/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_SNN0RM9WXAJWBBV0EQ9E The information about the Sobibor revolt and about Toibi Thomas Blatt’s experiences is from the standard work on Sobibor, Escape from Sobibor: Revised and Updated Edition https://www.amazon.com/dp/1480458511/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1X0J722H02NFM19J0BQ4, which also is full of very important interviews of most of the Sobibor survivors. ______________________________________ Rabbi Arnie Wittenstein is a well known Torah scholar, Tanach expert, and Historian.

The doomed rebellion of the surviving fraction of Warsaw's once-massive Jewish population known as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began on April 19th, 1943. Over the course of the following four weeks, the uprising was only put down after the entire ghetto was burned to the ground by the Nazis.
By 1942 there was no escape from Europe for the Jews, and even if they had managed to run – who would take them in.

Today, April 19th, is the 76th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It was the largest single revolt by Jews during WWII and it was mostly organized by the Bund, a secular Jewish socialist movement. Irena Klepfisz was born in the Warsaw Ghetto and fled with her mother to the United States when she was eight. She is now a noted poet, writer, Yiddish translator, anti-occupation activist, known for her work in lesbian, feminist and Jewish spaces. This personal interview touches on Irena's childhood, the "zeitgeist" of American Jewish bundist life, coming out in the 1970's, her activism against Israel's occupation, and how she makes sense of the contemporary resurgence of interest in Yiddish. Part 2 of this interview series will feature Daniel Soyer, who will provide a historical and academic perspective on the Jewish Labor Bund.
On April 19th, 1943, what might be accurately described as the greatest urban rebellion in the history of civilization began.
By 1942 there was no escape from Europe for the Jews, and even if they had managed to run - who would take them in. This second episode on the Holocaust explores the message of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and finally brings American Jewry into the picture of the Jewish Story.
Following the invasion of Poland in 1939, Jews living in Warsaw were forced into a walled ghetto. By July 1942, thousands were being deported to the Treblinka death camp. When the tragic news reached the Warsaw ghetto, the remaining Jews revolted. On April 19, 1943, SS troops were ordered to put down the Warsaw ghetto resistance. After four days of fighting, the entire area was destroyed, but the resistance continued for almost a month. It was May 16th before the Germans could announce that the Warsaw ghetto was no longer in existence. Though thousands of Jews had been killed, many had escaped to carry on the resistance.

Auschwitz survivor Fritzie Fritzshall shares her firsthand account of the Holocaust with Mayor Rahm Emanuel in this special live podcast episode at the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center. She’s joined by Susan Abrams, the Museum’s CEO, on the 75th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, who shares more about important exhibits including the Take a Stand Center featuring interactive holograms of survivors’ stories. Raw, powerful and emotional.
On the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, FRDH host Michael Goldfarb has a meditation on the uprising's meaning today. He tells the story of how the Jews of Warsaw, one-third of the population of the city were herded into a Ghetto and how slowly and then rapidly the Nazis tried to kill them all until, eventually, a group of fighters decided to die with a gun in their hands on teh street of the Warsaw Ghetto rather than to walk meekly into a gas chamber. He explains what effect this story continues to have on himself and his fellow Jews, wherever they live and he asks profound questions about finding the courage to respond to the worst violence.
Interview with Marek Edelman, who was the last commander of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to have lived, from 1996 is re-aired. Sholem Beinfeld, a regular contributor to the Yiddish Voice, co-Editor in Chief of the Comprehensive Yiddish-English Dictionary, and Professor of History, Emeritus, Washington University, St. Louis, discusses the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising generally as well as certain historical controversies. Mark (Motl) Murstein of Brookline, MA, originally from Poland, presents his own Yiddish translation of Zydom Polskim (Tsu Di Poylishe Yidn) by the late Polish poet Wladyslaw Broniewski, which was written in honor of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Leon Weinstein and Natalie Gold: a Jewish father who fought in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of '43 and Warsaw Uprising of '44 recalls reuniting with his infant daughter, who'd been hidden in a convent, after the war. At the time of the interview, in 1913, he was 100 years old, and he's since passed away. His daughter, Natalie Gold, works as a psychologist and is active in the survivor and Jewish community in Los Angeles.

President Donald Trump Speech in Poland - Rush Limbaugh said one of the best Presidential Speeches of all time A Reaganesque speech, you will not hear this on the Drive By FAKE NEWS, but you can here it here. President Donald Trump delivers a speech at Krasinski Square at the Royal Castle, Thursday, July 6, 2017, in Warsaw, Poland. By ROGER KIMBALL of PJMedia Read the rest here If you want to know why Donald Trump will go down in history as a great president, listen to (or read, when it is available) his speech in Krasinski Square, Warsaw today. Yes, there is a lot of the usual diplomatic persiflage: “Thank you, President Duda. Thank you, Poland.” But be an adult and distinguish the gem from the setting. While the anti-Trump press was busy running stories warning about “unease in Brussels” over Trump’s visit to Poland, Trump once again totally outflanked his critics. Those who have ears, let them hear: The United States is absolutely committed to securing Poland’s access to alternative sources of energy. Now, to whom do you think that was addressed? What country would use access to oil and gas as political blackmail (do what we say or you can’t warm your homes, light your streets, run your factories)? Who would do such a thing? The United States is absolutely committed to its trans-Atlantic partnership. That partnership, said Trump in his aspirational mode, has never been stronger: suitably translated, that means that he wishes to assure that it will never be stronger. It was a proffered hand. Will the EU bureaucrats reach out and grasp it? Speaking of bureaucrats, Trump also—mirabile dictu—warned about “steady creep of government bureaucracy” that, left unchecked, saps a people's will and makes the flourishing of individual initiative, the very marrow of freedom, impossible. This was a direct kick against the administrative state: I like to see it. Drain the Swamp. Trump reaffirmed his absolute commitment to Article 5 of the NATO agreement -- the bit that pledges members to “collective defense”: an attack on one member is an attack on all. He praised Poland for stepping up to meet its statutory financial commitment to NATO and urged other European countries to do the same. A strong NATO means a strong Europe. Rush Limbaugh - In Poland, Trump Plays the Media Again Jul 6, 2017 RUSH: CNN, folks, it’s hilarious. It is amazing. It’s unbelievable to watch what this collection of people claiming to be journalists is doing to themselves. It’s a circular firing squad. They’re shooting themselves in the foot. They’re setting themselves on fire, and they’re doing it all with righteous indignation at a man they hate running intellectual and tactical rings around them. So Trump is over there in Poland and in Germany and he’s doing his no-apology tour, as opposed to Obama’s, which were apology tours. You know, Trump’s not apologizing for anything. And the press, “So, are you ready to admit that the Russians and you colluded? Are you ready to admit it?” And Trump says, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. Nobody knows for sure.” And they blow up. For the last year these people have been devoted to proving something that didn’t happen, collusion, Trump, Russia, to screw Hillary out of the presidency. It’s nothing but lies. It’s nothing but manufactured, total BS that has now become a reality to these people. And all Trump has to say, “Well, you know, nobody really knows.” (laughing) And they blow up. And this Little Jim Acosta is literally making a fool of himself. He’s a CNN reporter, and he’s the guy that went bat nuts about two weeks ago over Trump refusing to call on him and then referring to CNN as fake news. And then the CNN mock wrestling gif. He’s losing his mind. They all are at CNN. And so today Jim Acosta accused Trump of engaging in fake news. The definition of fake news at CNN is if Trump takes a question from a conservative reporter, a friendly reporter. That is fake news. Acosta actually tweeted, “Isn’t it a fake news conference to take a question from a reporter who is essentially an ally of the White House.” Now, in order to understand what comes next, you have to understand who Acosta is. He’s like everybody else in Washington. These are pseudointellectuals. You must understand the way they see themselves. They see themselves as better, smarter, more important, more relevant, more necessary, just generally better people than all the rest of us. They have no humility whatsoever. They do not know what they don’t know. They have no capability of humility. They have no ability to admit that there are things that they don’t know. As such they are ripe to be made fools of. And this Acosta guy is basically putting his own bag of manure in front of himself and stepping in it every day. Trump is just assisting a little bit, but he’s not even collecting the manure. CNN’s doing that. Trump may be furnishing the bag, but these people are putting it in front of themselves and then stepping in it. So Acosta tweets, “Isn’t it a fake news conference to take a question from a reporter who is essentially an ally of the White House?” Donald Trump Jr. responds. “So by that logic, Little Jim, every news conference for the last eight years with Obama was fake news. You would know.” But it isn’t just Donald Trump Jr. Ari Fleischer: “Jim, do you care to guess how many questions I took from reporters who went on to join the Obama White House?” Ari Fleischer was Bush’s first press secretary. Here’s Acosta saying these conservative reporters, you know, they’re Trump’s allies, they’re supporters of Trump, these conservative people. That means it’s fake news. And Ari Fleischer is pointing out, you know, Jim, how many of your buddies who are in the press corps during the Bush administration then went on to join the actual Obama administration? The tweets, the memes, the gifs making fun of CNN with Trump savaging them, they’re getting too many to watch, too many to count. CNN has become a laughingstock and doesn’t know it. That’s what’s funny about it. They don’t know it. They’re aware of all of this, but because they have no humility and because they have no sense of their true place in the universe, they are incapable of actually having this register in terms of its reality. So Trump’s press conference is in Poland — oh, by the way, let me tell you about this. There’s another thing about Poland. The Drive-By Media today, a couple different places, reported that Trump is so unpopular in Poland. This is a flat-out lie. I mean, this is just total flat-out fake news. They reported Trump as so unpopular in Poland that they had to bus in the few supporters in the country they could find that would cheer Trump. That’s not at all what happened. Trump is so popular the Polish government had to organize the numbers of people and they sponsored bus trips to facilitate traffic management and logistics and all that. There were so many people that wanted to see Trump that they found a way to bus them in and keep it somewhat organized. But the Drive-By Media, including CNN, wants you to believe, they are reporting that Poland could only find 5,000 citizens in the whole country who cared to see Trump. That they don’t like Trump, that they wish Trump would go away, because Trump likes Merkel and Trump likes Putin and the Polish people hate Putin and they hate Merkel. It’s just the exact opposite. Trump is on the exact same page as Polish people via Merkel and Putin, and the Polish people know it. I’ve never seen anything like this. I’ve never seen a professional organization of any kind become so consumed with rage and hatred and other destructive emotions that they are actually self-destructing before our eyes and unaware that that’s what they’re doing. They made the common mistake, as I continue to point out, that they believe that everybody thinks like they do, everybody out there across the fruited plain, everybody inside the Beltway. When you stand aside from this and gaze upon it, Trump is just a master at playing these people. He also got a dig in at Obama, and he ripped into American intel sources and the intel community. And the Drive-Bys are outraged. CNN’s been running a banner all day: “Trump Blasts America on Foreign Trip.” “Trump Blasts Intel Community on Foreign Trip.” “Trump Blasts Obama.” Of course, in a sense it’s true, but they have no context. What Trump’s referring to is the intel community, weapons of mass destruction. He’s being asked by the media, “So… so do you think the intel community was right when they said 17 different agencies realized that you colluded with Russia? Do you think that’s right?” And Trump said, “Well, I don’t know that anybody really knows for sure what happened,” and they blow gaskets. Carotid arteries are about to burst, and Trump says, “Look at weapons of mass destruction. The intelligence communities all over the world said Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. We get over there; we couldn’t find any.” CNN with a banner: “Trump Bashes Intel Community While in Poland on Foreign Soil.” Well, let’s not forget who led the charge in bashing the intel community over weapons of mass destruction. The Drive-By Media! The Drive-By Media not only bashed the intel community, they tried to destroy George W. Bush, whether he was on domestic soil or foreign soil. They hate Trump. David Gelernter has a great, great piece today in the Wall Street Journal. Now, his piece is actually about why conservative intellectuals are flat-out wrong in their opposition to Trump and how they’re flat-out phony in their opposition to Trump. And in the process he describes (I think accurately( why much of the hatred for Trump inside the Beltway exists. I’ll get to it in just a moment. Like I tell you today, folks, I am sitting here overwhelmed with opportunities to share things with you. So as I think of these things the brain synapses fire. I guarantee you, I promise you: If I reference it here, I will get the details later in the program before we wrap up today. But it’s a perfect analogy. You know, when asked for the hundredth time if he believed the intel claims… Here’s another thing. (chuckles) We’re back to Jim Acosta again. Trump today, in answering the question for the hundredth time if he believed the intelligence community claims that the Russians meddled in the election, Trump said, “Well, I don’t think it’s all 17. I think it was only three now.” Jim Acosta ran to Twitter (paraphrased), “Trump is an idiot! Trump is a buffoon! It is 17 intelligence agencies who all agree that the Russians tampered with the election to try to benefit Trump!” Well, as you’ll remember from yesterday’s show, the New York Times and the AP had to do massive corrections and massive deletions and massive pullbacks because it isn’t 17; it was only three people — three people who agreed with James Clapper, who was Obama’s Director of National Intelligence. It was reported in January that 17 intel agencies all agreed that Russia tampered with Putin to benefit Trump. They had to pull that back. They did the correction over the weekend. We heralded it major yesterday. Jim Acosta doesn’t know. Jim Acosta, a reporter at CNN, simply doesn’t know that the AP and the New York Times had to issue the corrections. It isn’t 17. So he’s out there tweeting what an idiot Trump is. He’s tweeting what a liar Trump is, that Trump doesn’t know, that Trump is ignorant. When in fact it’s Acosta who is the CNN reporter who — according to job description — should be on top of this stuff. I mean, these people, the New York Times is their bible. They should know everything in the New York Times, and it is becoming clear that people that work for CNN are among the least informed people in Washington. It’s just delicious. It is fascinating. I was reminded. I didn’t even… I had forgotten this. John Hinderaker at Power Line had posted something back in 2009 about CNN. The title of the tweet I think, I think, is, “Rush Is Out.” The post was about was how CNN knowingly broadcast fake quotes attributed to me during the period of time it had been announced that I was part of a minority ownership group to buy the St. Louis Rams. CNN happily bannered and broadcast all of these fake quotes from me, and this post from Power Line in 2009 was among their most clicked on yesterday, and they wanted to find out why. They found it was because of a tweet from Dan Riehl and also an old tweet from Andrew Breitbart about CNN being evil. The Power Line people used it just to illustrate that the fake news business is nothing new to CNN, that they have been doing it for years. It was 2009. That’s eight years ago, and they broadcast a quote of something I never said. It was later learned to be manufactured out of thin air by a scraggly little left-wing author who had written a book filled with fake quotes attributed to countless conservatives, most of them about me. It was about how I supported slavery. I supposedly supported slavery ’cause the streets were safer at night, and CNN ran with this quote. The Power Line post was all about how anybody who listens would know it’s BS, that CNN was behaving irresponsibly. But the context of it was that the fake news that is CNN is not exclusive to Trump, and it isn’t anything new. It is what and who CNN has been for years. Trump is playing them like a Stradivarius. Trump said, “I think it was Russia. I think it could have been other people. Nobody really knows for sure. I remember when I was sitting back listening about Iraq, weapons of mass destruction, how everybody was 100% sure that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction,” Trump said. “Well, guess what? That led to one big mess. They were wrong, and it led to a mess.” The media is literally blowing gaskets at this. They can’t handle it. They have their meme. They have their narrative. The intel community now is unassailable. The intelligence community is universally, always 1,000% right. And they are all agreeing (but they don’t) that Putin attempted to interfere in the American election so that Trump would win. It’s a BS pack of lies that they have now reported for so long they actually believe it. And if anybody comes along and raises questions about the veracity, the honesty, the accuracy of the intelligence community? Why, the Drive-Bys can’t handle it. This self-immolation, this meltdown is occurring in public in front of everyone’s eyes, not behind the scenes. In other words, everybody is able to watch it. And Trump is just masterful at tweaking these people, at playing them off of each other. He knows how to push their buttons. It’s funny, because they’re sitting there in these press conferences thinking, “This is the day we’re gonna destroy Trump! This is the day we’re gonna expose Trump. This is the day we’re gonna prove that Trump is a poseur. We’re gonna prove that Trump’s a fraud.” And every day it is Trump making fools of them, except they don’t know that. They don’t have the humility or the sense of awareness to understand that they’re being made fools of. It’s fascinating to watch. Rush Limbaugh - Trump Defends Western Values in Historic Warsaw Speech Jul 6, 2017 RUSH: Angela Merkel says that success is based on open societies and shared values. Not the way she means, and I’m gonna explain why I say that in quoting from Donald Trump today in his speech in Poland. It is amazing. It is the first such speech of its kind since Ronald Reagan. I’m not kidding you. George H. W. Bush, George W. Bush got close. But what Trump did today with his speech in Poland — actually, with his conclusion. The whole thing is awesome. But he started about 75% of the way in, and it is stunning. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: I’m gonna share with you the salient point of Trump’s speech in Poland today that — well, Roger Kimball of PJ Media says this speech is one of many that’s going to end up defining Donald Trump as one of the greatest presidents ever. And this speech that Trump gave today has not been given, has not even been attempted by any president since Ronald Reagan. BREAK TRANSCRIPT RUSH: Here is a salient point or part of the Trump speech in Poland today that sets up what I think is phenomenal. It’s audio sound bite number 6. Here it is. THE PRESIDENT: Your oppressors tried to break you, but Poland could not be broken. And when the day came on June 2nd, 1979, and one million Poles gathered around Victory Square for their very first Mass with their Polish pope, that day every communist in Warsaw must have known that their oppressive system would soon come crashing down. They must have known it at the exact moment during Pope John Paul II’s sermon when a million Polish men, women, and children suddenly raised their voices in a single prayer. A million Polish people did not ask for wealth. They did not ask for privilege. Instead, one million Poles saying three simple words: “We want God.” RUSH: And he’s right. That was a huge moment in the destruction of Soviet communism, Pope John Paul, part of the troika with Margaret Thatcher, Ronaldus Magnus, bringing down the Soviet Union. And Pope John Paul II, a fervent anti-communist went to Poland as pope, and the country went crazy for him. But after that comment is where Trump got to the heart of his speech. He said, “The prerequisite for the success of Western civilization is not material riches. Economic prosperity and military might on their own are not sufficient. The critical leaven is the confidence in core Western values, such things as free speech, the equality of women, respect for individual rights, the rule of law, the affirmation of faith and family. Hence, the fundamental question facing Western nations today is whether the people continue to nurture the cultural self-confidence in those fundamental values. If they do, the West is unbeatable. If those values dissipate, the West is lost. As long as we know our history,” Trump said, “We will know how to build our future.” Then he spent a lot of time rehearsing Poland’s heroic resistance to Nazi atrocities in the Warsaw uprising, heroic resistance to Soviet aggression. Roger Kimball, who heard the speech, wrote at PJ Media: “Not since Ronald Reagan has an American president gone so clearly to the nub of what makes the West great and what threatens that greatness.” And he’s talking about Western civilization, Western values, American culture. This distinct American culture that resulted from our founding that is now under assault, not just from enemies around the world, but from enemies within. That distinctive American culture which has given freedom its greatest repository and chance in the world is under assault from the American media and its agents in the Democrat Party and in academia and in Hollywood. The threat to American Western civilization is now primarily domestic, and it has to be beaten back if we are to survive. It’s a battle to the death, folks, and we’re smack-dab in the middle of it. And Trump’s the only president since Reagan to acknowledge it. Transcript English 0-00 Mrs. Trump- Hello, Poland! 0-08 Thank you very much. 0-11 My husband and I have enjoyed visiting 0-13 your beautiful country. 0-16 I want to thank President and Mrs. Duda 0-20 for the warm welcome and their generous hospitality. 0-25 I had the opportunity to visit the Copernicus Science Centre today, 0-30 and found it not only informative but thoughtful, 0-35 its mission, which is to inspire people to observe, experiment, 0-42 ask questions, and seek answers. 0-45 I can think of no better purpose for such a wonderful science center. 0-54 Thank you to all who were involved in giving us 0-57 the tour, especially the children who made it 1-01 such a wonderful experience. 1-04 As many of you know, a main focus of my husband's 1-08 presidency is safety and security of the American people. 1-13 I think all of us can agree people should be able 1-19 to live their lives without fear, no matter 1-23 what country they live in. 1-27 That is my wish for all of us around the world. 1-32 (Applause.) 1-36 Thank you again for this wonderful welcome 1-40 to your very special country. 1-42 Your kindness and gracious hospitality 1-46 will not be forgotten. 1-50 (Applause.) 1-52 And now it is my honor to introduce 1-55 to you my husband, the President of the United States, 2-00 Donald J. Trump. 2-03 (Applause.) 2-11 The President- Thank you very much. 2-30 That's so nice. 2-33 The United States has many great diplomats, 2-35 but there is truly no better ambassador for our country 2-40 than our beautiful First Lady, Melania. 2-43 Thank you, Melania. 2-44 That was very nice. 2-46 (Applause.) 2-48 We've come to your nation to deliver 2-50 a very important message- America loves Poland, 2-55 and America loves the Polish people. 2-58 (Applause.) 2-59 Thank you. 3-02 The Poles have not only greatly enriched this region, 3-05 but Polish-Americans have also 3-08 greatly enriched the United States, and I was 3-12 truly proud to have their support in the 2016 election. 3-18 (Applause.) 3-23 It is a profound honor to stand 3-25 in this city, by this monument to the Warsaw Uprising, 3-31 and to address the Polish nation that 3-34 so many generations have dreamed of- a Poland that 3-40 is safe, strong, and free. 3-46 (Applause.) 3-49 President Duda and your wonderful First Lady, Agata, 3-54 have welcomed us 3-56 with the tremendous warmth and kindness for which Poland 3-59 is known around the world. 4-02 Thank you. 4-04 (Applause.) 4-06 My sincere -- and I mean sincerely thank both of them. 4-15 And to Prime Minister Syzdlo, a very special thanks also. 4-22 (Applause.) 4-25 We are also pleased that former President Leck Walesa, 4-31 so famous for leading 4-32 the Solidarity Movement, has joined us today, also. 4-36 (Applause.) 4-38 Thank you. 4-39 Thank you. 4-44 Thank you. 4-47 On behalf of all Americans, let me also thank 4-51 the entire Polish people for the generosity 4-55 you have shown in welcoming our soldiers 4-58 to your country. 4-59 These soldiers are not only brave defenders of freedom, 5-02 but also symbols of America's commitment 5-06 to your security and your place in a strong 5-11 and democratic Europe. 5-18 We are proudly joined on stage by American, 5-22 Polish, British, and Romanian soldiers. 5-25 Thank you. 5-28 (Applause.) 5-29 Thank you. 5-31 Great job. 5-33 President Duda and I have just come from 5-36 an incredibly successful meeting with the leaders 5-39 participating in the Three Seas Initiative. 5-44 To the citizens of this great region, 5-47 America is eager to expand our partnership with you. 5-51 We welcome stronger ties of trade and commerce 5-55 as you grow your economies. 5-57 And we are committed to securing your access 6-00 to alternate sources of energy, so Poland and its neighbors 6-05 are never again held hostage 6-08 to a single supplier of energy. 6-15 (Applause.) 6-17 Mr. President, I congratulate you, 6-19 along with the President of Croatia, on your leadership 6-26 of this historic Three Seas Initiative. 6-30 Thank you. 6-32 (Applause.) 6-35 This is my first visit to Central Europe as President, 6-39 and I am thrilled that it could be right here 6-43 at this magnificent, beautiful piece of land. 6-49 It is beautiful. 6-51 (Applause.) 6-53 Poland is the geographic heart of Europe, 6-57 but more importantly, in the Polish people, 7-00 we see the soul of Europe. 7-06 Your nation is great because your spirit 7-11 is great and your spirit is strong. 7-15 (Applause.) 7-21 For two centuries, Poland suffered constant 7-24 and brutal attacks. 7-26 But while Poland could be invaded and occupied, 7-30 and its borders even erased from the map, 7-34 it could never be erased from history or from your hearts. 7-39 In those dark days, you have lost your land 7-45 but you never lost your pride. 7-49 (Applause.) 7-53 So, it is with true admiration 7-55 that I can say today, that from the farms and villages 8-00 of your countryside to the cathedrals and squares 8-05 of your great cities, Poland lives, Poland prospers, 8-10 and Poland prevails. 8-13 (Applause.) 8-17 Despite every effort to transform you, 8-20 oppress you, or destroy you, you endured and overcame. 8-25 You are the proud nation of Copernicus -- think of that -- 8-35 (Applause.) 8-36 -- Chopin, Saint John Paul II. 8-41 Poland is a land of great heroes. 8-46 (Applause.) 8-50 And you are a people who know the true value 8-53 of what you defend. 8-57 The triumph of the Polish spirit over centuries 9-01 of hardship gives us all hope for a future in which good 9-06 conquers evil, and peace achieves victory over war. 9-13 For Americans, Poland has been a symbol of hope 9-17 since the beginning of our nation. 9-20 Polish heroes and American patriots fought side by side 9-26 in our War of Independence and in many wars that followed. 9-32 Our soldiers still serve together today 9-34 in Afghanistan and Iraq, combatting the enemies 9-38 of all civilization. 9-41 For America's part, we have never given up 9-44 on freedom and independence as the right and destiny 9-49 of the Polish people, and we never, ever will. 9-54 (Applause.) 9-59 Our two countries share a special bond 10-02 forged by unique histories and national characters. 10-07 It's a fellowship that exists only among people 10-10 who have fought and bled and died for freedom. 10-15 (Applause.) 10-18 The signs of this friendship 10-20 stand in our nation's capital. 10-23 Just steps from the White House, we've raised statues 10-28 of men with names like Pulaski and Kosciuszko. 10-34 (Applause.) 10-38 The same is true in Warsaw, 10-40 where street signs carry the name of George Washington, 10-44 and a monument stands to one of the world's 10-47 greatest heroes, Ronald Reagan. 10-54 (Applause.) 10-58 And so, I am here today not just to visit an old ally, 10-59 but to hold it up as an example 11-01 for others who seek freedom and who wish 11-04 to summon the courage and the will 11-07 to defend our civilization. 11-14 (Applause.) 11-15 The story of Poland is the story 11-18 of a people who have never lost hope, who have never 11-22 been broken, and who have never, ever forgotten 11-26 who they are. 11-31 (Applause) 11-35 Audience- Donald Trump! 11-38 Donald Trump! 11-40 Donald Trump! 11-47 The President- Thank you. 11-52 Thank you so much. 11-53 Thank you. 11-56 Thank you so much. 11-57 Such a great honor. 11-59 This is a nation more than one thousand years old. 12-03 Your borders were erased for more than a century 12-07 and only restored just one century ago. 12-13 In 1920, in the Miracle of Vistula, 12-18 Poland stopped the Soviet army bent on European conquest. 12-31 (Applause.) 12-33 Then, 19 years later in 1939, 12-34 you were invaded yet again, this time by Nazi Germany 12-37 from the west and the Soviet Union from the east. 12-41 That's trouble. 12-45 That's tough. 12-48 Under a double occupation the Polish people endured 12-51 evils beyond description- the Katyn forest massacre, 12-57 the occupations, the Holocaust, the Warsaw Ghetto 13-02 and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, 13-04 the destruction of this beautiful capital city, 13-08 and the deaths of nearly one in five Polish people. 13-15 A vibrant Jewish population -- the largest 13-17 in Europe -- was reduced to almost nothing after 13-21 the Nazis systematically murdered millions 13-25 of Poland's Jewish citizens, along with countless 13-29 others, during that brutal occupation. 13-33 In the summer of 1944, the Nazi and Soviet armies 13-38 were preparing for a terrible and bloody battle 13-42 right here in Warsaw. 13-43 Amid that hell on earth, the citizens of Poland 13-46 rose up to defend their homeland. 13-49 I am deeply honored to be joined on stage today 13-52 by veterans and heroes of the Warsaw Uprising. 14-01 (Applause.) 14-08 Audience- (Chanting.) 14-26 The President- What great spirit. 14-29 We salute your noble sacrifice and we pledge 14-31 to always remember your fight for Poland 14-35 and for freedom. 14-36 Thank you. 14-38 Thank you. 14-38 (Applause.) 14-41 This monument reminds us that more than 150,000 Poles died 14-48 during that desperate struggle 14-50 to overthrow oppression. 14-53 From the other side of the river, the Soviet armed forces 14-57 stopped and waited. 15-00 They watched as the Nazis ruthlessly destroyed the city, 15-06 viciously murdering men, women, and children. 15-09 They tried to destroy this nation forever 15-11 by shattering its will to survive. 15-14 But there is a courage and a strength deep 15-16 in the Polish character that no one could destroy. 15-20 The Polish martyr, Bishop Michael Kozal, said it well, 15-27 "More horrifying than a defeat of arms 15-30 is a collapse of the human spirit." 15-35 Through four decades of communist rule, Poland 15-38 and the other captive nations of Europe endured a brutal 15-43 campaign to demolish freedom, your faith, 15-46 your laws, your history, your identity -- 15-50 indeed the very essence of your culture and your humanity. 15-55 Yet, through it all, you never lost that spirit. 16-03 (Applause.) 16-06 Your oppressors tried to break you, but Poland could not be broken. 16-14 (Applause.) 16-18 And when the day came on June 2nd, 1979, 16-22 and one million Poles gathered around 16-25 Victory Square for their very first mass with their 16-29 Polish Pope, that day, every communist in Warsaw 16-33 must have known that their oppressive system would 16-37 soon come crashing down. 16-41 (Applause.) 16-44 They must have known it at the exact moment 16-47 during Pope John Paul II's sermon 16-49 when a million Polish men, women, and children 16-53 suddenly raised their voices in a single prayer. 16-57 A million Polish people did not ask for wealth. 17-04 They did not ask for privilege. 17-06 Instead, one million Poles sang three simple words, 17-11 "We Want God." 17-16 (Applause.) 17-21 In those words, the Polish people recalled the promise 17-24 of a better future. 17-26 They found new courage to face down their oppressors, 17-30 and they found the words to declare 17-34 that Poland would be Poland once again. 17-38 As I stand here today before this incredible crowd, 17-43 this faithful nation, we can still hear those voices 17-48 that echo through history. 17-51 Their message is as true today as ever. 17-55 The people of Poland, the people of America, 17-59 and the people of Europe still cry out "We want God." 18-06 (Applause.) 18-10 Together, with Pope John Paul II, 18-12 the Poles reasserted their identity as a nation 18-17 devoted to God. 18-19 And with that powerful declaration of who you are, 18-23 you came to understand what to do and how to live. 18-28 You stood in solidarity against oppression, 18-31 against a lawless secret police, against a cruel 18-35 and wicked system that impoverished your cities 18-38 and your souls. 18-40 And you won. 18-42 Poland prevailed. 18-44 Poland will always prevail. 18-48 (Applause.) 18-56 Audience- Donald Trump! 18-58 Donald Trump! 19-01 Donald Trump! 19-13 The President- Thank you. 19-15 You were supported in that victory over communism 19-18 by a strong alliance of free nations in the West 19-21 that defied tyranny. 19-24 Now, among the most committed members 19-27 of the NATO Alliance, Poland has resumed its place 19-31 as a leading nation of a Europe that is strong, whole, and free. 19-37 A strong Poland is a blessing to the nations of Europe, 19-42 and they know that. 19-43 A strong Europe is a blessing to the West 19-46 and to the world. 19-52 (Applause.) 19-54 One hundred years after the entry 19-56 of American forces into World War I, the transatlantic bond 20-00 between the United States and Europe is as strong as ever 20-05 and maybe, in many ways, even stronger. 20-09 This continent no longer confronts 20-12 the specter of communism. 20-15 But today we're in the West, and we have to say 20-19 there are dire threats to our security 20-22 and to our way of life. 20-25 You see what's happening out there. 20-28 They are threats. 20-30 We will confront them. 20-32 We will win. 20-33 But they are threats. 20-36 (Applause.) 20-42 Audience- Donald Trump! 20-44 Donald Trump! 20-48 Donald Trump! 21-00 The President- We are confronted by another 21-01 oppressive ideology -- one that seeks to export 21-05 terrorism and extremism all around the globe. 21-09 America and Europe have suffered one terror attack 21-14 after another. 21-17 We're going to get it to stop. 21-20 (Applause.) 21-23 During a historic gathering in Saudi Arabia, 21-26 I called on the leaders of more than 50 Muslim nations 21-29 to join together to drive out this menace 21-33 which threatens all of humanity. 21-36 We must stand united against these shared enemies 21-39 to strip them of their territory and their funding, 21-43 and their networks, and any form of ideological support 21-50 that they may have. 21-52 While we will always welcome new citizens 21-54 who share our values and love our people, our borders 21-58 will always be closed to terrorism and extremism 22-02 of any kind. 22-05 (Applause.) 22-08 Audience- Donald Trump! 22-11 Donald Trump! 22-15 Donald Trump! 22-25 The President- We are fighting hard against 22-29 radical Islamic terrorism, and we will prevail. 22-38 We cannot accept those who reject our values 22-41 and who use hatred to justify violence against the innocent. 22-46 Today, the West is also confronted by the powers 22-49 that seek to test our will, undermine our 22-52 confidence, and challenge our interests. 22-56 To meet new forms of aggression, including 22-59 propaganda, financial crimes, and cyberwarfare, 23-04 we must adapt our alliance to compete effectively 23-08 in new ways and on all new battlefields. 23-13 We urge Russia to cease its destabilizing activities 23-17 in Ukraine and elsewhere, and its support 23-21 for hostile regimes -- including Syria and Iran 23-26 -- and to instead join the community of responsible 23-29 nations in our fight against common enemies 23-33 and in defense of civilization itself. 23-41 (Applause.) 23-43 Finally, on both sides of the Atlantic, 23-45 our citizens are confronted by yet another 23-47 danger -- one firmly within our control. 23-51 This danger is invisible to some but familiar to 23-55 the Poles- the steady creep of government 23-58 bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth 24-02 of the people. 24-04 The West became great not because of paperwork and 24-07 regulations but because people were allowed to chase 24-11 their dreams and pursue their destinies. 24-16 Americans, Poles, and the nations of Europe value 24-20 individual freedom and sovereignty. 24-23 We must work together to confront forces, whether 24-26 they come from inside or out, from the South or the East, 24-30 that threaten over time to undermine these values 24-34 and to erase the bonds of culture, 24-37 faith and tradition that make us who we are. 24-44 (Applause.) 24-47 If left unchecked, these forces will undermine our courage, 24-51 sap our spirit, 24-53 and weaken our will to defend ourselves 24-55 and our societies. 24-58 But just as our adversaries and enemies 25-00 of the past learned here in Poland, we know that these 25-05 forces, too, are doomed to fail if we want them to fail. 25-11 And we do, indeed, want them to fail. 25-16 (Applause.) 25-20 They are doomed not only because our alliance is strong, 25-23 our countries are resilient, 25-25 and our power is unmatched. 25-27 Through all of that, you have to say everything is true. 25-33 Our adversaries, however, are doomed because we will 25-38 never forget who we are. 25-40 And if we don't forget who are, we just can't be beaten. 25-45 Americans will never forget. 25-48 The nations of Europe will never forget. 25-51 We are the fastest and the greatest community. 25-55 There is nothing like our community of nations. 25-59 The world has never known anything like 26-03 our community of nations. 26-05 We write symphonies. 26-06 We pursue innovation. 26-09 We celebrate our ancient heroes, embrace our timeless 26-12 traditions and customs, and always seek 26-15 to explore and discover brand-new frontiers. 26-20 We reward brilliance. 26-22 We strive for excellence, and cherish inspiring 26-27 works of art that honor God. 26-30 We treasure the rule of law and protect the right 26-35 to free speech and free expression. 26-39 (Applause.) 26-42 We empower women as pillars of our society and of our success. 26-48 We put faith and family, not government and bureaucracy, 26-52 at the center of our lives. 26-54 And we debate everything. 26-56 We challenge everything. 26-57 We seek to know everything so that we can better 27-00 know ourselves. 27-04 (Applause.) 27-05 And above all, we value the dignity of every human life, 27-09 protect the rights 27-10 of every person, and share the hope of every soul 27-15 to live in freedom. 27-17 That is who we are. 27-19 Those are the priceless ties that bind us together 27-23 as nations, as allies, and as a civilization. 27-28 What we have, what we inherited from our -- 27-33 and you know this better than anybody, and you see it 27-35 today with this incredible group of people -- 27-39 what we've inherited from our ancestors has never 27-43 existed to this extent before. 27-46 And if we fail to preserve it, it will never, 27-51 ever exist again. 27-53 So, we cannot fail. 27-55 This great community of nations has something else 27-58 in common- In every one of them, it is the people, 28-02 not the powerful, who have always formed 28-05 the foundation of freedom and the cornerstone of our defense. 28-10 The people have been that foundation here in Poland -- 28-14 as they were right here in Warsaw -- and they were 28-17 the foundation from the very, very beginning in America. 28-24 Our citizens did not win freedom together, 28-28 did not survive horrors together, did not face down 28-32 evil together, only to lose our freedom to a lack of pride 28-37 and confidence in our values. 28-39 We did not and we will not. 28-42 We will never back down. 28-46 (Applause.) 29-04 Audience- Donald Trump! 29-05 Donald Trump! 29-06 Donald Trump! 29-07 The President- As long as we know our history, 29-08 we will know how to build our future. 29-11 Americans know that a strong alliance of free, 29-14 sovereign and independent nations is the best defense 29-18 for our freedoms and for our interests. 29-22 That is why my administration has 29-24 demanded that all members of NATO finally meet 29-30 their full and fair financial obligation. 29-37 As a result of this insistence, billions of dollars 29-42 more have begun to pour into NATO. 29-46 In fact, people are shocked. 29-49 But billions and billions of dollars more are coming 29-52 in from countries that, in my opinion, would not have 29-56 been paying so quickly. 29-58 To those who would criticize our tough 30-00 stance, I would point out that the United States 30-03 has demonstrated not merely with words but with its actions 30-08 that we stand firmly behind Article 5, 30-12 the mutual defense commitment. 30-16 (Applause.) 30-18 Words are easy, but actions are what matters. 30-21 And for its own protection -- and you know this, 30-25 everybody knows this, everybody has to know this -- 30-29 Europe must do more. 30-32 Europe must demonstrate that it believes in its 30-35 future by investing its money to secure that future. 30-40 That is why we applaud Poland for its decision 30-43 to move forward this week on acquiring from the United States 30-47 the battle-tested Patriot air and missile 30-50 defense system -- the best anywhere in the world. 30-58 (Applause.) 31-00 That is also why we salute the Polish people 31-01 for being one of the NATO countries that 31-03 has actually achieved the benchmark for investment 31-07 in our common defense. 31-09 Thank you. 31-10 Thank you, Poland. 31-12 I must tell you, the example you set 31-15 is truly magnificent, and we applaud Poland. 31-19 Thank you. 31-22 (Applause.) 31-24 We have to remember that our defense is not just a commitment 31-28 of money, it is a commitment of will. 31-31 Because as the Polish experience reminds us, 31-35 the defense of the West ultimately rests not only 31-39 on means but also on the will of its people to prevail 31-42 and be successful and get what you have to have. 31-46 The fundamental question of our time is whether 31-50 the West has the will to survive. 31-53 Do we have the confidence in our values to defend 31-56 them at any cost? 31-58 Do we have enough respect for our citizens 32-00 to protect our borders? 32-03 Do we have the desire and the courage to preserve 32-06 our civilization in the face of those who would 32-10 subvert and destroy it? 32-14 (Applause.) 32-15 We can have the largest economies 32-20 and the most lethal weapons anywhere on Earth, 32-23 but if we do not have strong families and strong 32-26 values, then we will be weak and we will not survive. 32-35 (Applause.) 32-36 If anyone forgets the critical importance of these things, 32-41 let them come to one country that never has. 32-44 Let them come to Poland. 32-47 (Applause.) 32-51 And let them come here, to Warsaw, 32-54 and learn the story of the Warsaw Uprising. 32-58 When they do, they should learn about Jerusalem Avenue. 33-03 In August of 1944, Jerusalem Avenue 33-07 was one of the main roads running east and west 33-10 through this city, just as it is today. 33-14 Control of that road was crucially important 33-17 to both sides in the battle for Warsaw. 33-21 The German military wanted it as their most direct route 33-24 to move troops and to form a very strong front. 33-30 And for the Polish Home Army, the ability to pass 33-33 north and south across that street was critical 33-36 to keep the center of the city, and the Uprising itself, 33-41 from being split apart and destroyed. 33-45 Every night, the Poles put up sandbags amid machine 33-49 gun fire -- and it was horrendous fire -- 33-55 to protect a narrow passage across Jerusalem Avenue. 34-00 Every day, the enemy forces knocked them down 34-03 again and again and again. 34-05 Then the Poles dug a trench. 34-07 Finally, they built a barricade. 34-10 And the brave Polish fighters began to flow 34-12 across Jerusalem Avenue. 34-15 That narrow passageway, just a few feet wide, 34-19 was the fragile link that kept the Uprising alive. 34-24 Between its walls, a constant stream 34-26 of citizens and freedom fighters made their perilous, 34-30 just perilous, sprints. 34-33 They ran across that street, they ran through 34-36 that street, they ran under that street -- 34-39 all to defend this city. 34-42 "The far side was several yards away," 34-46 recalled one young Polish woman named Greta. 34-49 That mortality and that life was so important to her. 34-57 In fact, she said, "The mortally dangerous sector 35-02 of the street was soaked in the blood. 35-05 It was the blood of messengers, liaison girls, 35-09 and couriers." 35-11 Nazi snipers shot at anybody who crossed. 35-15 Anybody who crossed, they were being shot at. 35-18 Their soldiers burned every building 35-20 on the street, and they used the Poles as human shields 35-24 for their tanks in their effort to capture 35-27 Jerusalem Avenue. 35-29 The enemy never ceased its relentless assault 35-32 on that small outpost of civilization. 35-36 And the Poles never ceased its defense. 35-40 The Jerusalem Avenue passage required constant protection, 35-45 repair, and reinforcement, but the will of its defenders 35-49 did not waver, even in the face of death. 35-53 And to the last days of the Uprising, 35-56 the fragile crossing never, ever failed. 36-00 It was never, ever forgotten. 36-03 It was kept open by the Polish people. 36-07 The memories of those who perished in the Warsaw Uprising 36-11 cry out across the decades, and few are clearer 36-16 than the memories of those who died 36-18 to build and defend the Jerusalem Avenue crossing. 36-22 Those heroes remind us that the West 36-25 was saved with the blood of patriots; 36-29 that each generation must rise up and play their part 36-33 in its defense -- 36-42 (Applause.) 36-44 -- and that every foot of ground, and every last inch 36-46 of civilization, is worth defending with your life. 36-50 Our own fight for the West does not begin 36-53 on the battlefield -- it begins with our minds, our wills, 36-56 and our souls. 36-57 Today, the ties that unite our civilization 37-00 are no less vital, and demand no less defense, than that bare 37-06 shred of land on which the hope of Poland 37-10 once totally rested. 37-13 Our freedom, our civilization, 37-16 and our survival depend on these bonds of history, culture, 37-21 and memory. 37-22 And today as ever, Poland is in our heart, 37-26 and its people are in that fight. 37-32 (Applause.) 37-35 Just as Poland could not be broken, I declare today 37-39 for the world to hear 37-40 that the West will never, ever be broken. 37-45 Our values will prevail. 37-47 Our people will thrive. 37-50 And our civilization will triumph. 37-55 (Applause.) 38-01 Audience- Donald Trump! 38-03 Donald Trump! 38-05 Donald Trump! 38-18 The President- Thank you. 38-19 So, together, let us all fight like the Poles -- 38-22 for family, for freedom, for country, and for God. 38-27 Thank you. 38-27 God Bless You. 38-28 God bless the Polish people. 38-30 God bless our allies. 38-33 And God bless the United States of America. 38-36 Thank you. 38-36 God bless you. 38-37 Thank you very much. 38-39 (Applause.)

On July 22, 2010, Jack Mountcastle discussed photos from the temporary exhibition Memories of World War II: Photographs from the Archives of The Associated Press. The exhibition presented a stunning array of photographs from the greatest war in human history. It included photographs of Hitler and Mussolini at their peak, Londoners during the Blitz, the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943, Allied leaders at Tehran, GIs in Normandy, and Marines on the black sands of Iwo Jima. Organized from the archives of the Associated Press, this exhibition presented a spectrum of 121 of the most dramatic photographs from all theaters of the war and the home front. In this lecture Brig. Gen. John W. Mountcastle (USA, Ret.) surveyed the most important of these images. Before retiring from active duty, Jack Mountcastle was the army's chief of military history in Washington, D.C. (Introduction by Paul A. Levengood) The content and opinions expressed in these presentations are solely those of the speaker and not necessarily of the Virginia Museum of History & Culture.
In 1943, a few hundred Jewish fighters rose up against the German army as it began its final push to erase all traces of Jewish life in the Polish capital. Krystyna Budnicka is one of the very few Jews who survived the Uprising. As her older brothers fought, she hid in a sewer beneath the ghetto. Photo: STF/AFP/Getty Images.

Reading from a paper I wrote, "Were The Jews Really That Passive?" in which I discuss the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
Estelle Laughlin discusses the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, when German forces, intending to liquidate the ghetto on April 19, 1943, were stunned by an armed uprising from Jewish fighters. Estelle and her family hid in an underground bunker during the uprising but were eventually captured and deported.

Warsaw is the capital of Poland. It's motto is "Contemnit Procellas", which means "it defies the storms". It is a fitting motto because Warsaw continues to be the site of many uprisings, rebellions, and power shifts. Two of them were especially devastating: Warsaw Ghetto Uprising (1943): Led by Mordecai Anielewicz of the ZOB and the ZZW. 1000 Jewish resistance fighters vs. 2842 German SS forces. Jews are defeated, and deportations to extermination camps continue. Warsaw Uprising (1944): The largest underground movement in all of WWII. Poland's attempt to assist the Allied war effort and make a statement to the USSR that they are not interested in being occupied. The Polish Home Army (AK) manages to hold off the Germans for a while but, without Russian or Western assistance, the resistance crumbles. Eventually, the war ended and Poland became part of the Warsaw Pact (signed in Warsaw). 45 years later, Poland would be the first country to revolt from Soviet rule. Warsaw is now the 8th most populous city in the EU.
