In Remembrance of the Warsaw Ghetto: Program and Materials

Description:

In Yiddish (with Zog Nit Keyn Mol translated into English). 16 pages. Translated Summary: A speaker's guide with program materials. Contains songs and poems, an account of the Ghetto and of the 1942 uprising. Also includes a description (p.10-11) of the rebuilding of the Jewish community in Poland, including descriptions of economic activity, Jewish schools, theater, and periodical publications, housing and other relief efforts coordinated by the Central Committee of Jews in Poland (CKŻP, Centralny Komitet Żydów w Polsce). Includes Binem Heller’s poem "In the Warsaw Ghetto, it is now the month of Nissan." While the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was downplayed by the Polish and Russian Communist Parties after World War II, its remembrance and commemoration was central to the JPFO's work in the U.S. and in Poland. Cover illustration by William Gropper of Nazi troops shooting Jewish men, women and children fighting with only thrown objects. This copy is different from the related item in that it has the Zog Nit Keynmol songsheet, the booklet is [sparsely] marked up in red to indicate sections included, excluded or emphasized in its use, and the cover is dated April, 1947.
