The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was commemorated. Members of Warsaw’s Jewish community gathered Saturday to mark the 60th anniversary of the uprising, which began April 19, 1943. During the following weeks, a small number of Jews heroically fought off the Nazis with homemade explosives and smuggled weapons.
