History repeating itself....

Damn, he even mentioned "Russian soldiers"... Russia was the second aggressor attacking Poland then...

Americans have really erased from the history books what Nazi Germany did to Poles and they are telling some Jewish version of history

Warsaw Uprising, 28 August 1944. The Prudential building is hit by a 2-ton mortar shell from Karl-Gerät 040 60cm Mörser Nr. VI "Ziu" of Heeres-Artillierie-Batterie 638.

WARSAW RISE!!!

Witold Lisowski is a true hero. This sprightly 92 year old has lived a remarkable life. As a young Christian man, he saved the life of a Jewish boy, Józef Inwentarz, along with his family, hiding them for several years and eventually giving his own ID card to Józef. Witold participated in the Warsaw Uprising, served as a colonel in the Polish Army, earned a doctorate, worked as a historian, authored exhibitions and publications on history, and served as the director of the Polish Army Museum from 1984 to 1989. Today, I visited Witold, as I do with all the Righteous Among the Nations before the holiday season, bringing them food, medical devices, sweets, blankets, hot water bottles, and even a Christmas tree—all that is needed to enjoy their holiday with the love and respect they deserve. Witold told me, “I’m so worried about what’s happening in Israel. It’s horrendous what you are going through. I’m especially worried for my family.” Surprised, I asked what family he had in Israel. He took out a picture and told me, “I have 30 members of my family in Israel—the family of Jozef, the boy I saved. They are my family, and I worry for them, the soldiers, and the hostages.” I took off my dog tag; he put it around his neck and told me he’s not going to take it off until they all come home.

From the @loudjewcollective:

81 years ago, on April 19th, Jews who were trapped in the Warsaw ghetto rose up in an epic act of armed resistance against the Nazi forces.

Koved zeyer ondenk - we honour their memory.

We know that the young Jews who took up arms were not terrorists - just like Palestinians in Gaza, they were the terrorised.

Jews in the ghetto faced constant death, hunger and humiliation, they were terrorised and declared un-human by the occupying Germans. But many were determined to fight back - they smuggled in and home made weapons. They knew that resistance is life and collaboration is death.

We know Gaza is another ghetto - more than half the population are refugees, who were forced to move there when they were driven from their lands in other parts of Palestine. Israel controls everything in Gaza - how much food people have, the right to movement and who lives and dies - in the last 6 months they have slaughtered over 34,000 Palestinians as the world has watched. Just as the world watched while Germans rounded up and killed Jews, Roma people, queers and leftists.

In 1943, Jews militantly resisted the Nazi occupation under which their lives were made unlivable - just as the Palestinian people have resisted since 1948 and are resisting today in Gaza. Zionists are scared of this comparison because they want to claim that Israel is an eternal victim. But we know they are supporting a program of ethnic cleansing not that different to what Nazi Germany enacted.

We honour the resistance fighters, the survivors, those who endure.

This image is of Jewish fighters from Vilnus - Jewish uprisings erupted in five major cities, 45 provincial towns, 5 major concentration and extermination camps, as well as in at least 18 forced labor camps.

A "Tchorek plaque" on Paska Street This plaque commemorates the Polish victims of a massacre carried out during the Warsaw Uprising. On 15th September 1944, the Germans rounded up the residents of nearby houses (men, women and children) and murdered them at this location….

I like especially one comment to Amnesty International report about Ukrainian Army. It is a comment of one of facebook`s Polish user:

"Aż strach pomyśleć co AI napisałaby o Powstaniu Warszawskim."

"It's scary to think what AI would write about the Warsaw Uprising."
