70th Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Anniversary

Warsaw, Poland

WEEKLY INFORMAL CHALLENGE - WEEK 158 - "On the Street"

Commemorations have been held in Warsaw to mark 70 years since hundreds of lightly armed Jewish fighters rose up against a much larger force of German Nazi occupiers.
Hundreds of people came to the place where the ghetto was located during the WW II and then marched all the way to the Umschlagplatz Monument - memorial of the 300.000 Warsaw Jews, who were sent to the Nazi gas chambers in Treblinka.
From this place, where the railroad station was, between July 22, 1942 and September 12, 1942 they were put into cattle trains for their last journey.
