Jewish Boy Surrenders In Warsaw, 1943
This little boy was one of the half million Jews who had taken up residence in the Warsaw Ghetto. In the beginning of July 1942, the Germans began to ship nearly 5,000 Warsaw inhabitants every day to concentration camps. When the news of the exterminations of the Jews reached back home, they began to form resistance groups. “We saw ourselves as a Jewish underground whose fate was a tragic one,” wrote its young leader Mordecai Anielewicz. “For our hour had come without any sign of hope or rescue.”
