Warsaw Ghetto Resources
April 19 marks the anniversary of the start of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising – the single largest act of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, is the day Jewish communities worldwide commemorate the Holocaust and this Jewish uprising against the Nazis. Our team has curated a list of memoirs and resources focusing on this important event in the history of the Holocaust.
Warsaw Ghetto: Persecution and Resistance
Students will be introduced to the history of the Warsaw ghetto through first-hand accounts. Using Re:Collection and the digital exhibit Four Stories from the Warsaw Ghetto, students will explore pre-war Jewish life in Poland, life in the Warsaw ghetto and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Four Stories from the Warsaw Ghetto: An Exhibit
Through the stories of four people who survived the Warsaw ghetto — Pinchas Gutter, Arthur Ney, Amek Adler and Elsa Thon — we gain important insight into what it was like to live in the Warsaw ghetto.
