2028-04-19 - 85th anniversary - Warsaw Ghetto - Uprising put down
On October 2, 1940, the Nazis established a ghetto for the Jewish population in Warsaw. Almost half a million people were imprisoned there behind high walls. From November 16, 1940, the district was finally sealed off. By the time the deportations began in July 1942, about 100,000 people had already died due to the catastrophic living conditions. On April 19, 1943, a few hundred poorly armed Jewish fighters rose up against the Nazi troops who had begun "liquidating" the ghetto. The fighting continued for several weeks and ended in the suppression of the uprising on May 16, 1943. Thousands were shot or deported to the death camps. The Jewish community in Warsaw had been almost completely wiped out.
