🇵🇱 In The Footsteps of the Warsaw Ghetto
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มี.ค. 2022
- The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of the Nazi ghettos during World War II. It was established in November 1940 by the German authorities within the new General Government territory of occupied Poland. At its height, as many around 500,000 Jews were imprisoned there.
I take a walk in the footsteps of that ghetto to see what's left in 2022. The energy there is thick, you can still feel it today.
We can't forget the past, I hope this video can help us think a bit about that horrible time in Poland's history.

HI Bryce I just wanted to tell you that on September 1, 1939, Poland was attacked by Germany and on September 17, 1939 from the east by the Soviets
Thanks for your great job. regards 👍
Thank you, Bryce for being aware of past history and for raising awareness. Nowadays, more than any other time in recent history, it's important for us to remember our past so that we never ever repeat it. I left Poland 20 years, miss it so much, but your videos allow me to take a virtual walk on the streets of Poland
I believe in poland, and their gouvernement, but effectively, lesson have to bé learned, sometimes i have confidence 100%. Sometimes i m obliged to think human Never learn lesson, and i m afraid all will bé destroyed again, slavic liké to fight, catholicism liké to bé martyr.... So will sée.
200 000 civilians were murdered in Warsaw Uprising 8n 1944 but they weren't Jews. Warsaw Ghetto was completely destroyed in 1943 during Ghetto Uprising. Those Jews who survived had been sent do Auschwitz Birkenau and died in gaschambers.
The Warsaw Uprising took place at 5PM on August 1, 1944. Urged on by Radio Moscow, the valiant Poles fought for 63 days......alone. The Red Army sat on the outskirts of Warsaw, on Stalin's orders, so the Germans could exterminate as many Poles as possible before retreating to make life easier for the occupying Red Army, who stole, pillaged and raped in Poland just as they did in Germany.
If you are still in Warsaw in August, be sure to check out the annual commemoration of the Uprising, where inspirational songs of that time are recited by any and all who choose to come.
August 15 is the national Military Day, when the victory of the Miracle of the Vistula in 1920 is remembered. The Polish Army counterattacked the Red Army and chased them.more than halfway back to Moscow.
I truly recommend to visit Museum of the History of Polish Jews,
and Uprising Museum in Warsaw
Excellent video, Mr. Walker. There is so much history involved just with the Warsaw Ghetto uprising that there is no way a 30 minute or 60 minute video could cover it all.
The relationship between the Polish Catholic populace and the Jewish community is a long and complicated. It reverberates to this day.
Only in Poland was it a death sentence to hide Jews.
Poland had the biggest Jewish population in Europe prior to 1939. The few Jews who did manage to survive the war left the Communist regime for Israel.
Bryce - thank you so much for your videos - Poland is somewhere I have never been but obviously learnt of some of their history. Poland have been so opening and welcoming and should be thanked big time by the world - maybe their history gives them the depth of care that what happened to them should not happen to others - shows the strength of character of the Polish people.
Agree 100%. Thanks for watching!
They are catholic, of course they try to bé Seen good . It s thé concept of catholicism
@@jeremiefavareille4277 caring has nothing to do with religion - it has to do with humanity!

Thank you for sharing and presenting Polish complex history to the others. As a varsovian and Polish I really appreciate it. Good luck to you and your love ones!
I see you are very emotional. This is a very rare characteristic of someone from the West. Respect.
Thank you for this video! It's such a tragical and unimagineted past which we won't forget!
So... Now you know what we feel when on Ukraine russkies are shelling the cities. No mercy for them.
And all those fleeing from the horror of todays war - we need to help them survive.
They where Polish citizens also. Poles that faith was Judaism...
I do apologize, I didn't mean to make it sound like they weren't citizens of Poland, I misspoke my point. Apologies for that.

I recommend a movie about the Warsaw Ghetto
Thank you for that I will definitely check that out very soon!
Actually you can get closer to the fragment of the wall. It is not easy to find but if you ask the locals , they can show you the way. I was there last friday.
Excellent video. You are amazing person. Thank you.
There was a death penalty for hiding Jews. Polish people helped them despite the fact that they could die.
Some did. And some didn't.
@@brucemacmillan9581 What do you mean?
@@galy0 It should be pretty easy to figure out what I mean. But as you're having trouble understanding, let me elaborate: Some Poles helped Jews during WW2. Others did not. Or, to put it another way, if you're trying to say that all Poles helped Jews, you would be incorrect. Is that clearer?
@@brucemacmillan9581 And what about the relationship?
@@galy0 What do you mean by relationship?
Great video. There are still many ghetto remains in Warsaw, and still many war traces. You are very skilled, and great show that. All the best for You! ;)
I've been following all the documentaries of the Holocaust. So heartbreaking. I have the highest respect for the survivors and the ones that perished.
Warsaw rose like the Phoneix from the ashes.
Yes But so did the Jews and we will never forget … THE THINGS THAT WERE DONE AND THE THINGS THAT WERE NOT DONE!!!!”
Another great video Bryce, it doesn't hurt to have deep videos. "Lest We Forget "
My hairs stood on end when I heard you say "It's unreal what humans can do to each other"

Very moving video. I fear some are not remembering the past.
Great video, pretty detailed. Have been to most of the places you featured in this video. Look forward to returning to Warsaw soon 🙏
wooooow I did not know that the walls of the ghetto were still there. and that old tenement house. it struck me hard
Bryce, zapraszamy do Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego oraz do Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich POLIN, również bardzo ciekawe jest Muzeum Fryderyka Chopina, który pochodził z Warszawy :)
Nie wiem czy zwróciłeś uwagę gdy spacerowałeś po Krakowskim przedmieściu na licznie rozmieszczone plansze z miniaturami obrazów Canaletta, które przedstawiają starą królewską Warszawę. Jeżeli chciałbyś jeszcze bardziej zagłębić się w naszą historie zrywów narodowych to odwiedź Zamek Królewski i jego ogrody :)
A tak to warto zajrzeć jeszcze do łazienek królewskich, Muzeum Pałacu Króla Jana III w Wilanowie czy nad Wisłą Centrum Nauki Kopernik :)
Serdecznie pozdrawiamy 🇵🇱✌️🇺🇦
I really like your videos. Thank you for looking up the names and history of the places you visit. I hope you'll take a day to see POLIN and the Warsaw Uprising Museum (Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego). Something you said in this vide made me wonder - do you know that there were two uprisings in Warsaw during WWII? The first one, in 1943 was the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, then in 1944 was the Warsaw Uprising. Both defeated. But fighting for lost causes is in Polish blood you might say - it wasn't the first uprising that failed. There were several in the 19th century as well. Maybe that's why Poles sympathize and identify with Ukraine fighting a much bigger enemy against all odds.
I did know about the two uprising events but I guess I didn't speak clearly when talking about it, kind of blended them together by just using the term "uprising". Thanks for watching I'm glad you're enjoying them!
The Warsaw Ghetto uprising was very small but the conditions were horrific so it’s been portrayed many times in movies and tv. The whole city fought during the Warsaw uprising, and it wasn’t just the Germans. By 1944 Nazis obviously turned on the Soviets, during the uprising the Red Army approached Warsaw from the East and some of the uprising fighters thought the Soviet army would help but they didn’t. The Red army was camped on the east side of the Vistula river for days waiting for the Germans to kill all the uprising fighters, then they went in and fought the Germans.
@@bryce.walker this shop were closed due to it was sunday i guess btw.you saw "The Pianist by Roman Polański movie?
Amazing movie, I plan to go to the site it was filmed in Praga soon.
Another great video. Warsaw has a lot of history, lest we forget, and I love that you showed us a piece of it. I look forward to the next one. Hopefully you get back to the medal shop when it’s open! 👍
I need to get a polish war medal indeed 👍🏻
Thank you so much for what you do ❤
This is why we must not let political powers divide us. It was easy for them to use fear to stir up hatred, we have seen this recently again.
Yes we did and what Trudeau did to the Canadians we can see how easy it will be for them to do something like this again,our government lies to us all the time our News lies to us do you remember when Obama said lie to us so much so we divided so they can have better control over us ,there was a interview on utube of him saying that but I don't know why it's being hidden,if things don't change soon we will be in war world 3 and we are now inflation just like it all started with Hitler I'm getting scared
@@jenniferfloyd9179 yes, things feel pretty unstable these days. I pray a lot
After returning to Canada after 3 years I barely recognize the place, things change fast.
@@bryce.walker I am so sorry for what is happening in Canada things are bad here in America too I wish I could move away from the USA it is just so full of curroption and our morals are going out the window,I'm so scared for Canada and america it seems like our government system is trying to get us into dictatorship
@@pegasus5287 I pray alot too keep praying only God can help us,things are getting more and more scary every day 😭 I cry alot every man in my family was in the military and they didn't fight for this they fought so we can be free , and it seems like the only ones who get away with crimes is people in office and the CIA our system is curropt and broken and I don't trust non of it 😭
Hey! very nice Video will be in Poland this year.
Hey Bryce! There's two very nice museums related to that subject in Warsaw: Warsaw Uprising Museum and POLIN Museum, both are very interactive and it makes you learn about the history in a very interesting way, it's not that kind of museum that you just see images, you have like a sensorial experience, what makes it even more worthy...
Bryce you must be amazing person ♥️
Bryce, I want to say thank you for sharing! I like learning about the past. The wars and all. I agree we can not forget the past! We should all want to learn from it to prevent things from ever happening again! Thank you so much!!!
Appreciate that, thanks for watching!
Nice....thanks for taking the time to make the video and share it.
Thanks for watching!🤟🏻
Thanks mr. Bryce Walker for showing different parts of Warszawa. You seem to be a good dude. Plus you are Canadian so I guess it is a given. :)
Bryce if you like medals, antiques, military and vintage staff then definitely go to ''Bazar na Kole''. Its a big car boot sale or flee market or whatever you wanna call it but if you are an old crap lover then it is a place you cannot miss. Best going Sat or Sun morning btw. Enjoy
I do love old crap 🤣. Thanks I'll check it out!
Bryce- highly recommend movie The Pianist.
One of my favourite films (I'm going to the location the film was shot for a video soon)))
@@bryce.walker the another great movie is city44 about Warsaw uprising. ( Miasto 44) let me know what u think about it 🙂
Poland is awesome ,please go to the Uprising Museum if you can you won't regret it ! My beautiful Polish friend Agnieszka took me there when I visited Poland from the USA in 2015
I already have my voucher from LOT. I can't wait to go there. My respect for Poland and my disdain for Germany are both immense.
😅 Enjoy yourself, I'm looking forward to my return one day also
I know you are angry with Germans but it wasn't all Germans some German families hid out Jews in thier basements and some Germans even helped Jews get fake papers , even some catholic churches took in Jewish children and hid them with fake papers and made them look like Catholic children thank goodness for those nuns or those poor innocent children would have been killed too , I blame Hitler and his goonies and I blame the pope too but I don't blame innocent Germans even though the Germans took my ancestors and killed them I don't blame all of them for that I am not polish I'm half gypsy and half Irish my great grandma came over here after the war and she met my grandfather and they got married my pap said my grandma would wake up screaming and he would just hold her, my grandma mother was killed by the Germans and so was her sister I was so proud of her she was so strong and she was a good wife and good mother she didn't talk about what she experienced much but I know I wouldn't be here today if she would have given up hope
Łapka w górę i subskrypcja brachu....jedyne co mogę powiedzieć to dziękuję.🇵🇱♥️
You can come closer to the ghetto wall. From the side of Złota Street there is an open gate for visitors, which allows you to enter the yard between the blocks.
In the fourth minute of the video, the wall behind you has bullet holes from German rifles and other weapons. There are places like that all over Warsaw.
I went there but it was locked...don't tell me all I had to do was ring a bell or something
@@bryce.walker strange, it should be opened.
Ghetto was made in the place of actual Jewish quarter of Warsaw. Many Jews were brought there from the local towns and villages around Warsaw but most were just the Jews of Warsaw. They've made about half of the city population before the war. In 1939 Germans destroyed about 10% of Warsaw already, the Jewish populated areas were especially targeted and the worst bombing was on the Jewish new year. In 1943 Ghetto was destroyed and in 1944 the rest of Warsaw. Before the war there lived about million people in the city, half of them Jewish. After the war there was about a thousand people left hiding in the rubble, rest was murdered or driven to the camps.
I just watched in tears. Sad history of the human being.
thank you bro
Super interesting video, im planing to visit warsaw and finding these pieces of the ghetto is my number 1 interest..also want to go to treblinka right after, its not far from warsaw
Make sure and make a video about your travels, that would be very interesting to see Treblinka, I never got to go there during my time in Poland.
Check also exhibition in Węgrów town. 40 kilometrs fromctrabkinko in direction toctje Warsaw is exhibition in old monastry about life of jews here..and dialog with Christian and muslims n this time.
I'm going there in two weeks. Thank you for this, I just wish you had put what streets you were on.
The three best known parts of the Warsaw Ghetto wall are located in the former small ghetto, in the courtyards of the tenement houses at 55 Sienna and 62 Złota Streets, and at 11 Waliców Street.
@@bryce.walker Thank you so much. Looking forward to seeing the wall. What a tragic part of history.
You will feel the energy once there, something I can't even describe
Thank you very much for sharing with me the fundamentals of my roots. Mind you the Umschlagplatz in Warsaw was the place from where the Jews of Warsaw were deported to extermination camp Treblinka just about 70 kilometers north of Warsaw close to Byalistok. Upon arrival the Jews were severely beaten forced to strip driven up the Himmelstrasse and forced to inhale toxic fumes from a truck engine. The whole process from arrival to extermination lasted no longer than 90 minutes and on an average day 5999 Jews were murdered. The Treblinka extermination camp operated from July 1942 until October 1943 during which 1.4 million people mostly Jews were murdered on the site. Thanks for keeping the memory of the fallen alive. El Molei Rachamim and of course Am Israel Chai always 🇮🇱🇺🇲
Thank you very much for watching, I appreciate it. Very glad you liked it.
@@bryce.walker In as much as Golgotha where Jesus Christ was crucified and ascended into heaven in accordance with the Christian tradition is the holiest place on earth to the Christians. The Warsaw Ghetto and in particular the Umschlagplatz is holy ground to us, the place from where fellow Jews were deported and immediately within 90 minutes upon arrival exterminated at Treblinka. This is the Golgotha of the Jewish people. You are doing an outstanding job and GD/Hashem will bless you for having shown us the video where once the bravest and most courageous of our Jewish ancestors lived that staged the Warsaw uprising during the Holocaust. Thank you very much and keep up the good work Am Israel Chai always 🇮🇱🇺🇲
@@fredsimchawang6327 again thanks so much for the kind words, I'm very happy to keep the memory and spirit alive
@@bryce.walker Thank you very much and GD/Hashem bless us all 🇮🇱🇺🇲
@@fredsimchawang6327 🙏🏻
I recomend to all of you to watch movie "The Pianist"
One of my favourite films 👍🏻
One note. The photo of the bridge you show in 8:41 is not a bridge from Warsaw, but from the ghetto in the city of Lodz
Yes, another viewer mentioned this. I wish I could go back and edit that properly
If you get the chance check out the movie "Warsaw 44" (Miasto 44)
Link to the trailer with English subtitles: th-cam.com/video/g_8fm3VACuc/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for that, I will watch soon!
Great video but if you were not informed yet, the historic bridge photo at 8:40 was similar in Warsaw but that photo was actually taken in Lodz.
I apologize, although very similar I wish I could go back and change that. I appreciate you letting me know thank you.
@@bryce.walker No problem...I am no expert but I had happened to either read a book or watched a documentary with that picture describing the vary location in Lodz (where I visited in September) and curiously I looked at the location now. If you don't know the location I can tell you when I figure it out again. I have a general knowledge of what part of the city it was in and that it was near a church.
I tried to send the link to the site but I guess Yahoo won't permit it. The location is at Zgierska and plac Koscielny. The original photo is taken facing north at that intersection.
Find me on instagram @itswalkerman you can't DM me there if you'd like 👍🏻
HI Bryce are the photos on exhibit permanently or were they displayed for a short while?
I was under the impression it was permanent when I was there but it's possible they update the wall.
Go up the palace of culture. There is a view point to see the whole city
I'm told it's the best view in the city, mostly because you can't see the Palace of Culture and Science when your up there 😅. Yes I will indeed check it out, thanks!
I think, on photo is getto i Łódź. The buildings there are all times. One building was archives in getto.
Yes, someone else noted that. My apologies
those Jews were also Polish citizens. god bless them
I misspoke there, apologies!
No such a thing, there was getto IN Warsaw made by germans AND UNDER THEIR OCCUPANCY !
Warsaw is one large cemetery after the 2d world war, they are so many places were people killed, children hospitals, schools, please go to the uprising museum
So is Gaza
It almost just doesn't seem right...that life just goes on...after all this evil happened.
I live hala mirowska. In what it is a ghetto, i don t sée, but maybe i should listen your video

When visiting another city or country, every educated person must visit a museum. Visiting museums is very useful and fascinating. A love for the "eternal" and "beautiful" is awakened in a person, the beginnings of greatness and respect for history are inculcated. It is impossible to turn the excursion into something banal, ordinary and boring. The person should be a comprehensively developed person, cultured, educated, critically and analytically thinking, with knowledge of foreign languages. It is the knowledge of a foreign language that opens wide prospects for a person to realize his/her creative potential, career and financial growth. I would like to recommend the practical training course by Yuriy Ivantsiv "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign language", where you can find lots of useful information how to learn a foreign language quickly. Learn a foreign language and realize your creative potential on an international scale! The international community needs creative ideas! Thanks to the author of the channel for a very fascinating tour!
You know nothing anyone can report on history. But when you have family that has been through the war.
Make sense boy, wtf you on about?

HOLOCAUST

Do the people who live in the modern high-rise apartments realize the horrors of their neighborhood during WWII? I wonder if it depresses them? It certainly would depress me.
That's an interesting comment, when I was in The Palace of Culture and Science I would look down upon the city below, to the old area of the ghetto, thought the same thing....it felt good that we were past that situation and have moved on but in the same breath I saw the hundreds of thousands of people crammed into the small area and thought how just 80 years ago this beautiful area was all but a nightmare. People must move on, but the energy remains.
@@bryce.walker In all my trips to Europe I have never visited a camp or former ghetto. I thought about doing it, but I would find it overwhelmingly depressing. I had family in Amsterdam who died in the camps, and when I am in Amsterdam, though I love the city, I find it very haunting. I also know several people who survived the Warsaw ghetto, and we never discussed their life in the ghetto, too depressing. Thank God I was born n 1951, after these terrible events.
It's very depressing, and it's why people should visit, this is how it'll never happen again, if we turn a blind eye and avoid the pain of the past...that's when we'll forget and eventually it'll happen again one day.
@@bryce.walker I agree with your theory, but personally I struggle with depression daily, and it is very depleting. I have to be careful to not do anything which might deepen my depression, and visiting Auschwitz or another camp would certainly do that. I don't turn a blind eye, I've worked extensively with holocaust survivors, but that actually lifted my spirits. I learned so much about survival and the courage to look forward and to do things to build a better life from them. I had a very dear friend (no longer alive) who survived Auschwitz and the Death March, she taught me so much, to not be bitter, to realize that there were many many good Germans, to realize that "not all Germans were Nazis and not all Nazis were German" - this gave me the wisdom to judge each person for their own merits. I understand where you are coming from and I agree with you, but for me personally I need to concentrate on being positive and not succumbing to despair.
Oh absolutely if you're struggling then try to visit the happy places. I hope you're able to get ahold of your depression, it's a terrible state of mind to be stuck in, I wish you all the best.
What uprising?
The very well know 'Warsaw Uprising"
@@bryce.walker you refer to warsaw uprising when Poles fought against germans and austrians?
Poles (including polish Jews) correct.
@@bryce.walker jews are not Poles. Two seperate nations.
There was no Israel during WWII, all Jews in Poland were Polish. Every Jew in russia was Russian. You're still and idiot.
It is sad story about it that it will be destroyed. Famous jewish novelist and photograph stay there. I recomend you to go to Łazienki to relax, Muzeum Etnograficzne to learn something cool, parks like Mokotów or more Moczydło. If you need help or gide please let me know.
Jrwidh ghettos had casinos brothels schools bars etc. Jews collaborated with germans and austrians.
Why even comment when you're this dumb?

@@bryce.walker it is you who is dumb. Check you facts. About judenrats gjetto jewish police. Also check how jewish banks financed 3 reich.
you`re still in Warsaw?
Great video, but you should go and film what US soldiers did in Iraq, Afganistan, in Beograd, Serbia and also how Jews treat Palestinians nowadays... 🤔
I would love to film all of that. 👍🏻
And now let's go to Gaza. How could this happen again? Another ghetto another tragic another G
Just FYI, Danzig (Gdansk) was not bombed when the war started in 1939. Ethnically, it was a German city. Politically, it was a free city. Only Westerplatte was attacked by Germans as it was in Polish hands as a military depot. Interestingly, the peninsula of Westerpaltte still carries the German name despite Danzig and Pomerania being incorporated into Poland and having all other names of localities changed into Polish in 1945.
Small corrections: Before Prussia took it, Gdansk was a Polish City, later it became German (due to Prussia robbing and "Germanizing" it --> flooding the occupied and formerly Polish territories with Germans from Germany via "Prussian Settlement commission"). However, the Germans destroyed the city in the Second WW (same applies to Breslau/Wroclaw, by the way). When Gdansk was rebuilt afterwards they had to use paintings from pre-German times, so basically when city still was a part of the Polish Kingdom in order to have a a reference that shows how it looked like back then. So the typical German traces were removed (there are still some "Fachwerkhäuser" left, though). What many don't know: You won't find a single city in Germany that looks similar to Gdansk anyway since the style is NOT (!) German but it is called flamish (which is Dutch).
It's part of history that Germans ("German" speakers would be more precisely) had a huge impact on Gdansk and Wroclaw (culturally + when it comes to architecture). The Polish equivalent to both cities would be Lviv (Ukraine) and Vilnius (Lithuanian capital citiy). However, while Gdansk and Wroclaw were almost 100% destroyed Lviv and Vilnius survived the wars with almost no casualties.
It's also worth mentioning that this was mainly possible because Poland was attacked and eventually occupied by Germans and Russians several times in their history. Yep, indeed, there is a pattern emerging. ^^
@@rainerwhine8871 1. Gdansk WAS a German city in Royal Prussia within the Kingdom of Poland. It was inhabited primarily by Germans who spoke German but were subjects of the Polish king. Royal Prussia was an autonomous province of the Crown of Poland within the Commonwealth of Both Nations. 2. How could Germans destroy their own city in the WWII? Gdansk was bombed by the Allied and Russians and suffered during the fight for the city in the final days of the war. 2. Similarly, Wroclaw/Breslau was since the Middle Ages a German city while belonging to different states throughout its history (Poland, Bohemia, Austria, Prussia, Germany, Poland). 3. In Central Europe, one adjective is insufficient to describe a character of a particular city. Lodz, for example, was Polish, Jewish, German and Russian at the some time.
@@blinkblinkRNB Well technicall you are not wrong as Prussians and Austrians are kind of "German" as well (language + culture) but when it comes to DNA it's not as obvious as you might think. When Prussia was established the "founding stock" (population) was 99% Polish/baltic with only small fragments of German DNA (which was provided by the Teutonic Knights). Even the Prussian elites were rather mixed ( mixed parents).
But it is insofar accurate as ,both German states, Prussia, Austria, allied with Russia to destroy the Polish Commonwealth. I guess you could say the exact same happened before WW2 (--> Hitler Stalin pact).
@@blinkblinkRNB Indeed although Poland wasn't always a victim in history. Poland partitioned the Teutonic State in 1466, incorporating part of it as Royal Prussia and keeping the Ducal Prussia as a fief. In the East, it ruled over lands belonging previously to Kievan Rus. After the WWII, Poland took over Silesia, Pomerania and part of East Prussia and expelled all its German inhabitants. It is hard to talk about patterns in history. Neither Rus/Russia nor Germany were always Poland's enemies.
Dude, 200 000 died in Warsaw Uprising? Not.
Warsaw Uprising took place in August-October 1944, Jewish population was already gone by then.
That's correct.
"With the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, the J residents resisted the German occupiers. The uprising began on April 19, 1943, when the National Socialists wanted to deport the last residents of the sealed-off urban area to extermination camps. They were able to maintain resistance for four weeks before the National Socialists completely destroyed the ghetto. In total, more than 56,000 J died during the uprising."
Day 2 - Tuesday, April 20, 1943
"The fight continued on the second day, especially at Muranowski Square, because the Germans were determined to take down the flags. But the ŻZW fighters were able to defend themselves well because they were supplied from the other side. To do this, they used a TUNNEL that they had created in the headquarters"
Look out for Marek Edelman, he is a surviver and after war he was one of those who did not support Isr.
Wow couldn't beilive my ears , American mentioning that Polish and polish army people also died, not only Jewish people,sad, what happened but everyone making these videos acting like only Jews died there, and Poles were just colaboretors with Germans and noone mentiones us but to my suprise He metions both equally , wow that fresh that something wow really Americans usually mention Jews dying there , Rest is gabarge to them meaning Americans
Jew duying in Europe at tgat time sad and it is
Non jew duying like Frenchman, Pole, Britt or any other
Ahh who gives a f...k
What I meant by that was polish soldiers, of course they were citizens. I just spoke with marbles in my mouth. (I'm also Canadian)
Jewish collaborative state.
Riiiiiight
Thank you. May we never forget.
i thought they destroyed all the old ghetto buildings. when did you film this? there was another popular ghetto building that was rennovated in 08 I think and now its an apartment building or office building not sure. pretty disgusting. that place should have been memorialized or converted into a museum. in general it seems poland made a strong effort to conceal their history of being complicit with the Nazis
The buildings were destroying but the Poles rebuilt everything to it's original likeness.
@@bryce.walker so those abandoned bldgs in your video are now all gone? thx
@@kellymulderino7156 no they're still there, the city has been rebuilt but there is some parts of the ghetto walls the still remain as they were in 1945
@@bryce.walker Oh ok. there was that popular corner building that had images of people on it and I assumed that was the last of the old buildings. Really wish they turned that into a museum. it is now an office building i think
