This year's March of Remembrance of July 22, 1942, is accompanied by the exhibition "Roots of the Uprising. Resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto”.One of its elements is a flower meadow of memory, where species typical of the ruins of the ghetto were sown. Their list was prepared in 1946-49 by Prof.Roman Kobendza.

Monuments to Resistance is the largest and so far the most diverse presentation of the works of art about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in the post-war period (until 1956). The sculptures, monuments, posters, graphics, and photographs selected by the curators bring not only the multidimensionality of the subject and its enormous importance for entire generations but also the difficulties and emotions close to their creators.

Mordechai Anielewicz, the commander of the Jewish Combat Organization in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, died on May 8, 1943 in a bunker at Miła 18 street. Surrounded by the Germans, most likely due to treason, the fighters committed mass suicide.

April 19, 2023, marked the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.At 12:00 AM a ceremony in honor of the insurgents was held at the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes in Warsaw.

„My dream has come true. Jewish self-defense in the ghetto was a fact. Jewish armed resistance and vengeance have become reality. I was a witness of great, heroic struggle of Jewish fighters”, wrote Mordechaj Anielewicz on 23 April 1943 to Icchak Cukierman, responsible for contact with Polish underground, who remained outside of the Warsaw Ghetto at that time.
