The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, April 19 to May 16, 1943, was the largest and best-known part of Jewish urban resistance against the Nazis during World War II. Municipal alarm sirens and church bells in Warsaw are scheduled to ring at noon in the Polish capital.
More than three thousand volunteers will distribute paper daffodils that people hang on their jackets and coats, in memory of Marek Edelman, the last commander of the Jewish uprising. The Germans put down the insurrection in blood and set fire to the entire district, which immediately became a field of ruins.
