Narcisos in Lapela, sirens in the background – 82 Anniversary of the revolt of Ghetto de Warsovia
On April 19, 1943, a group of poorly armed militants, led by Mordechai Anielewicz, offered armed resistance to the Germans in the Warsaw ghetto. “The rebels knew they had no hypothesis against The extermination machine represented by the Germans. Therefore, it was a struggle for dignity, for a decent death, without any hope of victory, “Zofia Bojańczyk, coordinator of the Narcissus of the Polyina Museum in the history of the Jews of Polac, tells in an interview with Euronews.
The revolt was voted for the defeat from the beginning, although in the first days the insurgents had successes. “This badly armed Jewish hand has been able to surprise the Germans especially,” says Bojanczyk. “Let us remember that we have been in 1943, the war that lasted four years ago, the Germans have killed Jews, so these young people had already seen the death of their friends, their family, they themselves had passed hell, the holocaust, and the Germans were completely surprised to find any resistance on the Jewish side.”
“It was necessary to die with a gun in hand”
The Polín Museum in the history of the Polish Jews is committed to transmitting the story and presenting the heroes of the revolt. One of the leaders of the revolt was Marek Edelman. “In addition to being an important figure of solidarity, an exceptional doctor survived the Holocaust and was a guardian of Jewish memory,” explains the coordinator of Narcissus’s action.
On your Facebook pageThe museum reminds Edelman as follows: “There were no illusions: he knew they would not defeat the German army. However, he fought. Not by himself, but for those who did not want to die passively. After the war, he spoke of the revolt with simple words: It was necessary to die of weapons in hand. But his fight did not end in 1943: throughout his life, he defended the weak, as a doctor, saving people’s hearts and as a social worker, fighting for the dignity of others. “
Narcissos in Lapela
Marek Edelman, the last commander of the Jewish combat organization, received a branch of yellow flowers from an anonymous person on April 19, on the day of all the birthday of the revolt.
“Many times they were Narcisos, because it is the moment of the narcissos. He put this branch of flowers on the monument to the heroes of the Gueto in the neighborhood of Muranoow in Warsaw, where today is the museum of the history of the Poles Poles Poles Poles, organized by the Narcissus campaign, in front of this monument. Yellow flowers in the monument, says Bojaúz.
Marek Edelman died in 2009, but until the end of his life was a voice of consciousness in Poland and one of the unquestionable authorities.
Since 2013, on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the burst of the revolt, the Poly Museum has distributed yellow paper narcisos to the residents of Warsaw through their volunteers, asking them to connect them to their clothes. In this way, the anniversary of the revolt and all those who fought in the Warsaw ghetto are celebrated.
“When I say all who fought, I not only mean the insurgents who fought with weapons in their hands, but also those who resisted civilly. They were people who hid in the attic, the bunkers and fought every hour and every day of their lives,” says Zofia Bojańczyk. “But they were also people who supported the revolt on the other side of the wall, trying to provide weapons, organizing money, false evidence, etc.
Strong identity of Warsovia
In 2013, the volunteer base was scarce. Since then, more than 15,000 volunteers have participated in the action, distributing more than two million yellow flowers. “The action is no longer a place to not only be throughout the country, but also reach a multitude of countries around the world with their reach,” says Bojańczyk. The narcissos were sent to more than 30 countries. “This year, our narcissos will be transported to Buenos Aires or Melbourne, Australia.”
“Our volunteers are above all People Who has not Jewish Roots, So For Them, motivation is not family history, but they are afr Are Moved by a Vary Strong Feeling That Warsaw Is A Town of Two Revolts and Vry Well, and Vary Well, The Revolt, The Revolt, The Well, The Well, The Well, The Well, The Well, The Good, El Pozo, El Pozo, El Pozo, El Pozo, El Pozo, El Pozo, El Pozo, El Pozo, El Pozo, El Pozo 1944, but before the Warsaw revolt it was also the revolt of the Warsaw ghetto in 1943, “he adds.
The revolt of the Warsaw ghetto was the largest Jewish revolt during World War II. “It is worth remembering that it was the first urban revolt in occupied Europe,” says the coordinator of the action.
Empathy, help, openness
Every year, more and more schools adhere to Narcissus’s action. As Zofia Bojańczyk says in an interview with Euronews, this year there are more than 6000 schools, libraries and institutions throughout Poland, to which they send educational materials based on which they tell the story of the revolt of Ghetto de Varsovia.
“But the important thing is that it is not just about history, that is, learning the dates of the important figures that participated in the revolt, etc. is also a kind of look at the concepts such as empathy, help, opening, being open to the other person. If we do not have an open mind and an open heart in relation to another person, then what happened in 1943, or rather, all the machine that led to Hanousta happen, “, the campaign,”, “,”, “,”, “,”,, the campaign “,”, the campaign “, the campaign. “
