The Jewish/First Warsaw Revolt begins: Approximately 70,000 survivors of the original 380,000 internees of Warsaw’s Jewish Ghetto (established shortly after the Nazi German occupation of Poland) equipped only with sidearms, rifles and a machine gun act in self-defense against forced relocation to the death camps.
Postscript: Half a century later, Jews around the world observe this day as Yom Ha’Shoah (Hebrew for Holocaust Remembrance Day). But their observance commemorates not the defiance of the Warsaw Jews against impossible odds, but rather the martyrdom of millions of their forbearers.
