Captured in secret by a Polish firefighter while German forces set fire to the Jewish ghetto, the photographs were recently discovered by the photographer’s son in a family member’s attic.
The photographer, Zbigniew Leszek Grzywaczewski, spent nearly four weeks in the ghetto (most likely between April 21 and May 15, 1943). In a diary he kept during the conflict, he wrote:
“The image of these people being dragged out of there [out of the bunkers—ZSK] will stay with me for the rest of my life. Their faces[…with a deranged, absent look…figures staggering from hunger and dismay, filthy, ragged. Shot dead en masse; those still alive falling over the bodies of the ones who have already been annihilated.”
The uprising lasted from April 19 (Passover eve) through May 16, 1943, and was the largest act of Jewish resistance against the Nazi regime during the Holocaust.

a big rebbe once said “a g-d that i understand i have no use for”
“the g-d of israel does not sleep nor slumber”
incomprehensible how humans can do such unspeakable horrors. monsters!
our minds are too limited to understand Hashem’s ways, we can’t understand. there are many thing we can’t understand, period. it will only make sense in the world to come
So then, what was the meaning of Churban? 6,000,000 murdered, Jewish civilization in Europa annihilated. If there is meaning here, please let us know.
When G-D slept.
