Today is the Day of Catastrophe and Heroism of European Jewry. On this day, people around the world commemorate the six million Jews who were murdered by Hitler’s Nazis during World War II
At the same time, we honor the memory of the heroic Jewish uprising that began on these very days in the Warsaw Ghetto, where Hitler’s Nazis had herded nearly 500,000 Jews into inhumane living conditions.
But they decided to fight!
With minimal weapons, often seized from soldiers in battle, they rose up against one of the strongest armies of the time. They sent radio messages, asking for help, but no one responded…
The uprising lasted nearly a month (from April 19 to May 16, 1943). The forces were completely unequal; tanks were sent into the ghetto, buildings were destroyed, and everything was burned with flamethrowers. But even then, the Jews did not give up—they fought to the very end… At that time, they showed the whole world what true courage is
Today, years later, we are once again living through the difficult times of war. Once again, there are those who openly speak of their desire to destroy the Jewish people, such as the Iranian fascist-Nazi regime and their inhuman proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah. But there is a big difference between then and now—today, the Jewish people are not defenseless. Today, they are capable and ready to defend themselves.
May the memory of the fallen be blessed!
Am Yisrael Chai!
