A large number of Jewish and non-Jewish citizens of Warsaw paid tribute yesterday to the bravery of the last-ditch defenders of the Warsaw Ghetto on the 24th anniversary of the revolt. They made a pilgrimage to Mila 18, where the headquarters of the Ghetto fighters high command was located, where there is now a memorial. Many wreaths, ranging from imposing floral collections to small bunches of flowers, were placed at the monument.
