80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
19.04.2023
The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was the largest & most heroic act of armed resistance taken up by the Jews in WWII.
This year on the 80th anniversary we dedicate the Daffodil campaign to those heroes.
The Foreign Ministers and Ambassadors of Poland and Israel joined the Daffodil Campaign at the invitation of ELNET–Poland. From Brazil and the European Union to Iran and Japan, over a hundred Polish and Israeli ambassadors are marking this special anniversary together.
80 Years: The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising broke out on April 19, 1943, marking the single largest armed Jewish insurrection against the Germans during World War II. It was a heroic act of defiance against the tragic fate of the Jewish people, a crucial chapter of which was the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto, which began several months earlier, on July 22, 1942. The young men and women who remained in the walled-off ghetto chose to die in battle rather than perish in the gas chamber at Treblinka. The uprising ended on May 16, 1943, when the Germans demolished the Great Synagogue on Tłomackie Street, and razed the rest of the ghetto to the ground.
