Title: Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 75 yr anniversay
Post by: gunsmith on April 22, 2018, 06:08:37 PM
  I see only a few articles on google, mostly people in europe commemorating .
Why isn't this an important news story today?
 I recall the seventy fifth anniversary of D Day was huge.

Just a bunch of privileged Poles eating their fancy sausages in their exclusive neighborhoods.

Book recommendation: Ordinary Men

Movie: Defiance. The DVD extras where they talk to living descendants of the Polish terrorists is worth the price alone.

Same reason the Stalingrad anniversary wasn't big news...

We had nothing to do with it.

Little different situationfrom D Day, no?

Mordechai Anielewicz, one of the great heroes of the modern age. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordechai_Anielewicz)

I also call out his fellows who took on a fight they could never win, but showed it's best to fight and maybe die than be shipped off to be murdered at some psycopath's whim.

Somehow, they always had perfect weather.

If you've never seen this, it's pretty cool.

Short film about the commemoration.
