• Battle of Warsaw

Curatorial Notes:

• “The battle may be raging still; we do not know.” This pamphlet was issued weeks after the end of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, although its author did not yet know that it had ended. The text provides a spare description of the battle as the details were not yet fully known. Poignantly, it states that the Jewish fighters are facing death not to win the battle, but “in the hope that the world will be stirred to swifter action against Nazis now seeking to destroy the soul of a nation.”
