Well there you go. The Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto, with their pitiful resources, under constant threat of violence, stamped out a typhus epidemic with public education, distancing, hygiene and ISOLATING people who were sick. Somehow, they never said "Ah, well, it's super contagious so why bother trying?" Makes you want to weep, really. https://www.newscientist.com/article/2249578-how-a-jewish-ghetto-beat-a-typhus-epidemic-during-the-second-world-war/ #covid #LongCOVID #CovidIsNotOver #warsawghetto

BBC Radio 4 is broadcasting an account of the archive that secretly recorded daily Jewish existence in the Warsaw Ghetto called "The Warsaw Ghetto: History as Survival". It's on at 13:45 each day this week. Narration by Anton Lesser with Elliot Levey.

Auerbach also became a member of the clandestine Oneg Shabbat (“Joy of the Sabbath”) Archive. In this capacity she documented the sights she encountered in her everyday work and the starvation of the Ghetto's inhabitants. 2/2

In Nazi-occupied Poland, historian Emanuel Ringelblum, who headed the Jewish Self-Help Society (Jewish relief organization) in Warsaw, asked Rachel Auerbach to organize a public kitchen. Once Jews were forced into the Warsaw Ghetto, public kitchens supplied the hungry masses with a daily meal. 1/2

Excerpt: “But we Germans have also learned the lessons of our history. ‘Never again’ means that there must be no criminal war of aggression like Russia’s against Ukraine in Europe.”

#80Years #WarsawGhetto

It's the anniversary of the start of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Most of those fighters were members of the Yiddish Bund, a radical Jewish socialist worker's organization sworn to destroy capitalism. Here's me singing their anthem, Di Shvue (The Oath), which they sang at the start of every meeting. "An oath of blood and tears." #yiddish #socialism #anticapitalism #holocaust #warsawghetto https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CkxO4pEJ_8Y

Jewish doctors in the Warsaw Ghetto documented their own community's starvation. The book they wrote was only recently rediscovered. (From last summer, but absolutely riveting.) Via The Conversation:

For #Holocaust Remembrance Day, from Yehuda Poliker's
"Ashes and Dust":

"A Small Station Called #Treblinka"

The lyrics are by #Polish poet Władisław Szlengel, who wrote them in the #WarsawGhetto where he was killed

Sometimes the ride takes the rest of your life . . . .

And the station remains silent. . . .
And only an advertisement still hangs here.
A faded old slogan says "Cook with gas!"
Here is the stop for Treblinka.
Here is the stop for Treblinka.

"The Warsaw ghetto, set up in 1940, was the largest in Europe, and at its peak held almost half a million Jews, packed into a small neighbourhood and forced to live in appalling conditions...

The uprising began on 19 April 1943. Testimony suggests most participants knew it was doomed from the start, but were determined to go out fighting rather than be sent to the gas chambers."

Amazing: newly-discovered photos of the #WarsawGhetto uprising are the only known such pictures to have been taken by anybody other than the Nazis. I do wish the #JTA article would have included information about how we can view the photos!
