SUMMARY:Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Series\, Part One: A ‘Jewish District’ in the World’s Most Jewish City
DESCRIPTION:Join the Museum of Jewish Heritage to learn more about the Warsaw Ghetto and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Dr. Zachary Mazur\, Senior Historian at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw\, will discuss the history of the Warsaw Ghetto and its continued impact worldwide.\nPart One: “A ‘Jewish District’ in the World’s Most Jewish City”\nThis session explores pre-war Warsaw—then the vibrant heartbeat of European diaspora culture—and its systematic destruction. The lecture&nbsp\;will trace the forced creation of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1940\, analyzing how the sealing of its walls created an artificial landscape of extreme overcrowding\, starvation\, and disease. The lecture will dive into the social and psychological mechanics of survival inside the walls before pivoting to the tragic turning point of July 1942. In addition\, they will examine the social mechanics of the mass deportations of over 265\,000 Jews to the Treblinka extermination camp over a two-month period.\nMore information about the series HERE.\nRegister for Part One HERE.
