One of the highlights of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Commemoration in Chicago today was a special exhibit of more than 1, 000 photos, charts and drawings depicting the life of the Jews in Warsaw before the Nazi occupation.
The exhibition, which has been assembled during the past 20 years by the YIVO Institute, was presented at Roosevelt University, under auspices of the Combined Jewish Appeal of Metropolitan Chicago. The last sequence of the exhibit depicts the final struggle of the doomed Jews and the liquidation of the Ghetto.
