The Jewish Historical Institute at Warsaw is preparing a new, comprehensive exhibit dealing with the rebellion of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto against the Nazi army, 20 years ago, it was learned here today. The exhibit will be only one of many other major graphic and literary portions of the observance of the 20th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, scheduled to be held in Warsaw April 19-21. The uprising had been launched on April 19, 1943, on the eve of Passover.
The Historical Institute’s display will include many documents, photographs and relics of the Ghetto, never seen publicly before, and will show graphically the day-to-day details of existence in the doomed Ghetto and of the last stand by the Jews in the Ghetto determined to sell their lives at high cost to the massed Nazi army surrounding them.
In addition, there will be a series of books and pamphlets to be published by the Polish Government Publication House. Several of the publications will be issued in multi-language format, including Polish, Yiddish, English, French and German. A book prepared by Prof. B. Mark will contain hundreds of heretofore unpublished documents, most of which were not even known to exist.
