RECOVERY IN WARSZAW GET
April 18, 2023 - 80th YEAR OF remainder - IN THE HOLD OF BOHATEROM
A judaic Combat Organization and a judaic Military Union (ATOB)
- ACS.
The first acts of opposition took place in January 1943, and were attended by militants of both ZOB and ZZW. Here they tasted triumph for the first time erstwhile they interrupted Germany in the next phase of the displacement action.
The uprising broke out on April 19. It was the ZZW that hanged 2 banners - white-red Polish and white-blue Jewish. This triggered a furious German attack and Himler's individual reaction. The most fierce fighting took place in the vicinity of Muranowski Square, where ZZW had its main headquarters. 2 bloody battles over Muranowski Square played. Regular "front" combats of ZZW continued until about 27 April and ŻOB until 22 April (the ŻOB had inferior armaments and little trained personnel). Thanks to the tunnel on the "Aryan" side, ZZW was able to number on any supplies and evacuation of wounded in the first period. Polish units (although comparatively few) penetrated the ghetto tunnel. As of 23 April, ZOB, and from 28 HSC went into guerrilla combat hiding in prepared bunkers and putting armed opposition to attacking Nazis. The fighting continued for any time, defenders were starved, deficiency of drinking water, deficiency of ammunition. The situation was tragic. Gradually, the Germans "cleaned" the ghetto, found bunkers and hideouts, killing at the site, or deporting Jews there. The fights went out. ZZW and ZOB were the main insurgent forces, but various another groups hiding in the ghetto besides fought.
Expenses of the Warsaw Ghetto
"On 19 April 1943, what Germans expected happened in the ghetto," said Dr. Hanna Węgrzynek of the judaic Historical Institute in a 2011 broadcast. - 2 days earlier, the German authorities heard that something was going on in the ghetto.
From the detonation to the collapse of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising - says Dr. Hanna Węgrzynek from the judaic Historical Institute, aud. Katarzyna Jankowska from the cycle "Scientific Evening with the One".
In the spring of 1943, before the final liquidation of the ghetto, the Jews in it undertook an armed act. The judaic Combat Organization and the judaic Military Union operated in the ghetto. Both organizations decided to join forces and lead the armed action, sharing the ghetto's territory. The uprising was planned the day before the judaic Passover.
The insurgents didn't fight alone. They waited until the Germans entered the ghetto to yet destruct them. Who put up a fight? “First of all, they were young people,” said Dr. Hanna Węgrzynek. – possibly the least prepared, but on the another hand the most fierce in the desire to do something, to argue the German armed way.
Warsaw
The Warsaw ghetto was razed to the ground by the Germans after the suppression of the uprising in 1943. The insurgents fought by force of will.
The fight was highly uneven. The hungry and weak Jews and strong, well - armed soldiers and German policemen stood against each other. Nevertheless, the Germans did not deal with the opposition of the Jews as rapidly as they expected.
The Germans were amazed by the resistance, even though they had already received information that the ghetto was preparing for the fight – stressed Dr. Hanna Węgrzynek. – The command takes over Jürgen Stroop, who was trained to fight mostly guerrilla troops.
The battles in the ghetto area can be divided into respective stages. Initially, the Jews openly went against the German forces.
Later they hid in bunkers, canals, and basements, which is why the Germans tracked them with dogs. In 1 of these bunkers, the command of the ŻOB took refuge at Mijo Street. There are 2 theories about how members died.
ŻOB: Polish sources talk about collective suicide, and in Israeli books about chemical poisoning by Germans. any of them escaped.
The 3rd phase of the fight was a fight on the ruins of the ghetto, which ran even until July 1943. The authoritative date of the end of the fighting is adopted on 16 May 1943, which Germans have designated by their way. Then they razed the building of the large Synagogue at Tłomackie Street.
CHOOSE THE kind OF DEATH
The insurgents had no weapons and thus a chance of winning, though they were entering into a fight against the full awareness of their situation. small is known about the weapons of insurgents. Most have died and historical sources cannot be verified with eyewitness accounts. However, many photos were preserved in the Jürgen Stroop Report, called the executioner of the ghetto.
In his report, Jürgen Stroop wrote that almost 14,000 Jews were killed during the operation," said Dr. Hanna Węgrzynek. It's possible. During the fighting respective 1000 people died (from 5 to 7,000), it is estimated that about 5-6 1000 were burned alive, due to the fact that the Germans were walking around burning the home down. There are pictures of people jumping out of windows in burning clothes. In addition, about 50,000 were exported to Treblinka.
Ghetto in Warsaw was the largest specified place in Europe. Even 0.5 million prisoners passed through them. The full area of the judaic territory after the uprising was methodically burned and razed. The last civilian inhabitants of the ghetto hid in its territory until 1944.
When the mass displacements of Jews began in 1942 and it became clear that all the inhabitants of the ghetto were doomed, fresh tasks arose – to bring as many Jews as possible and above all judaic children outside the ghetto walls – said Irena Sendlerowa. Jürgen Stroop - the executioner of the Warsaw ghetto.
The spark of the fire caused that Jews already covered with flames, massively, full families jumping out of windows. They took care to be immediately liquidated" - wrote Jürgen Stroop in a study to Heinrich Himmler, reporting the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto.
