On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland, starting World War II. We present fragments of reports of Jewish soldiers of the Polish Army from the first days of the defensive war, preserved in the Ringelblum Archive.

80 years ago, on August 5, 1942, Janusz Korczak went with the children from the Orphanage at 16 Sienna Street to the Umschlagplatz. Stefania Wilczyńska, a long-time collaborator, walked with him. Two weeks had passed since the Germans began the great deportation from the Warsaw ghetto.

On August 2, 2022, at the museum of the German Nazi extermination camp Treblinka II, we paid tribute to the people murdered in this place and to the participants of the prisoners' revolt of 1943. The ceremony, co-organized by the Jewish Historical Institute, was attended by Ada Willenberg, widow of Samuel Willenberg, who died in 2016 as the last participant of the Treblinka uprising. Present were representatives of state and local authorities, parliament, diplomatic corps, institutions, associations, the Jewish community, the Righteous among the Nations.
