Connexions Calendar

From the Warsaw Ghetto to the Gaza Ghetto


June 25, 2008


The Warsaw Ghetto was the largest of the Jewish ghettos established under Germany's Nazi regime, in the capital city of occupied Poland. Between 1941 and 1943, starvation, disease and extermination reduced the population from 450,000 to 71,000. During the Warsaw Ghetto uprising of January 1943, Jewish fighters organized an armed rebellion that held control of the Ghetto for three months.
Today, Palestinian residents of Gaza, in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, are facing conditions similar to the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto.
Hear Hammam Farah and Suzanne Weiss discuss the lessons of their common experiences of repression, resistance and solidarity.
