  1. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was the 1943 act of Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto in German-occupied Poland during World War II to oppose Nazi Germany’s final effort to transport the remaining ghetto population to Majdanek and Treblinka death camps.

    The Jews knew that the uprising was doomed and their survival was unlikely.

    Marek Edelman, the only surviving Jew commander, said their motivation to fight was “not to allow the Germans alone to pick the time and place of our deaths”.

  2. The face on that little boy. *This* is why Holocaust comparisons are so vulgar because it truly was unlike any period in history. Just awful.

  5. Yeah, also do not forget about the Armenian massacre, all those murdered by Stalin, Idi Amin, the Khmer Rouge, the Bosnian war….
    The list goes on as humanity never seems to loose its lust fr blood.

  9. Is it still a criminal offense in Poland to tell the truth about Polish collaborants and their part in Holocaust?

  12. I remember that picture from a book on 2WW I had as a kid. As a father the expression on that kids face breaks my heart and offers a face to the incomprehensible horrors the jews (and many others) were subjected to in those years.

  14. that’s a wierd time these bags of shit we see on the picture with guns pointed on kids and women could call themselves ubermenschen… hope their d….s have been long and painfull.

  15. I use to see this picture all the time in my high school history books. With the persecution of the Uyghurs in China, I now fully comprehend the terror in the faces of these people.
