During WWII, the site of the dig in what is now Warsaw’s Muranów district was the headquarters of the Jewish Combat Organisation, which was instrumental in organising and launching the ghetto uprising.
Consisting of 126 sheets and containing 31 of SS monster Jurgen Stroop's daily reports and 53 photographs, the document details the course of the Jewish uprising, a list of the units and people involved in the operation, as well as the reality of fighting in the ghetto.
A two-day international conference devoted to the fate of Poland's Jews in the early years of the country's World War II occupation by Nazi Germany will set off in Warsaw on Monday.
The Warsaw Ghetto Museum, as it will be called, is intended to send a message about avoiding ‘nationalism, extremism, and all the -isms that lead to affliction and tragedy, not only of individuals, but of entire nations, and thus, of all civilisation’.
