22 July March of Remembrance
This year, the march is dedicated to the memory of Shmuel Zygielbojm, a Bund activist, who made efforts throughout these months to alert the Western public opinion about mass extermination of Jews in occupied Poland. After many months of struggle against the West’s indifference, in act of solidarity with the insurgents of the Warsaw Ghetto, he committed suicide. In the March of Remembrance, we want to bring back the memory about him.
110th anniversary of Henryka Łazowertówna’s birth
Poet, writer and translator. After the outbreak World War II, she became involved in social work, including on behalf of the charity organization CENTOS and the Jewish Social Self-Help, for which she prepared publicity materials. For the Oneg Shabbat, she wrote the history of the ghetto’s poorest and most precarious inhabitants, a story of individual Jewish families’ struggle to survive. Murdered in Treblinka during the Great Deportation. Not wanting to leave her mother, she refused to leave the Umschlagplatz when offered the opportunity.
75. anniversary of blowing up the Great Synagogue in Warsaw
On 16th May, 1943 not only the most impressive synagogue in Warsaw but also the entire Jewish district ceased to exist. Destruction of the synagogue was a symbolic act of the triumph over the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which had been ongoing since 19th April 1943. The person responsible for the bloody suppression of the uprising was Jürgen Stroop. In his report he wrote down a characteristic sentence, “Es gibt keinen jüdischen Wohnbezirk in Warschau mehr!”
The Easter Pogrom, 1940
The Easter pogrom should be considered as a culmination of anti-Semitic violence which had been increasing on the streets of Warsaw since the beginning of the war, with its peak in the early spring of 1940. The pogrom was certainly strongly inspired by the Germans; as researcher Tomasz Szarota assumes, it was provoked deliberately as a justification for building a ghetto in Warsaw. The construction of the ghetto walls began only several days after the pogrom.
Posthumous Award for Ethical Leadership for Emanuel Ringelblum and the Oneg Shabbat Group!
The 2018 Awards for Ethical Leadership was announced by the Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics (FASPE) – a New York non-profit corporation.
