| POLISH MEMORIAL TO THE HOLOCAUST |
 |
Everywhere in Poland there are monuments and memorials to the Jews who were murdered by the Nazis and the Jews who fought in the Ghetto Uprising. There is a stone slab on Mila Street in Warsaw at the site of a bunker in the Warsaw Ghetto, which commemorates the leaders of the Jewish Combat Organization. It is engraved in Polish, Yiddish, and Hebrew. |
The " Memorial of the Heroes of the Warsaw Ghetto " is located in the square where the main Jewish bunker existed. The monument, work of Natan Rappaport, was ordered by Hitler to honor the "victory" of Germany. Today it stands as a symbol of the courage of the Jewish people who fought during the Ghetto Uprising. On the 45th Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, a Gateway- Monument was erected on the spot where Jews were loaded onto railway cars. It is engraved with the names of 400 Jews. On Poprzeczna Street in the town of Anin, is another memorial for the Jews who were shot by the Nazis in July 1942. In Krakow, a commemorative plaque identifies the building which was the headquarters of the Jewish Combat Organization. In Lublin, a monument was unveiled in 1962 commemorating the 300,000 Jews murdered in that province. |
There are many other monuments throughout Poland, but the most moving are those situated at Majdanek, Belzec, Sobibor, Auschwitz, and Birkenau, among other concentration camps. Polish and Jewish interfaith groups of all ages have been coming together in a show of solidarity in the annual March of the Living to remember the dead. The event is organized not only for remembrance of the dead, but also one of education of the public. |
