IN the Muranow district of Warsaw, once the beating heart of Europe’s largest Jewish community, the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes stands on the eastern edge of a large square.
It depicts defiant Jewish insurgents in the midst of their incredible uprising against the Nazis that began on April 19 1943.
Ironically, the materials used to construct this anti-fascist monument were procured by Nazi architect Albert Speer in 1942. He had planned to erect a monument for the victorious Third Reich on the ruins of Warsaw.
