STARBUCKS IN THE WARSAW GHETTO - INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE DAY
24.01.2022
To help commemorate International Holocaust Remembrance Day, Boris Dolin led us on a virtual walk through the streets of Warsaw today, and the remains of Warsaw of the 1940’s and the most significant Jewish ghetto.
We learned about the ghetto and the rich Jewish life that preceded it, about the functions of the Judenrat and the people's hopelessness but efforts to help one another. We discussed the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and the struggle of these brave people, commemorated today only by a pile of stones. The ghetto wall remains in today's Warsaw, but its streets and houses are in ruins.
