The boundaries of the Warsaw Ghetto are virtually invisible nowadays. Thanks to the efforts of the staff of the Jewish Historical Institute, in 2008, 21 monuments defining the boundaries were placed and cast iron plates illustrating where the former walls stood were built into the pavements. One of the most important boundary point, commemorated with a monument on the corner of Andersa and Świętojerska Streets, is the place where once stood the gate to the ghetto. In our film, which is also an invitation to the March of Remembrance, about the gate talks Mr Jan Jagielski.

While leaders such as Paweł Frenkel, Leon Rodal and Dawid Wdowiński are already relatively well known (at least in the academic community), many members of the top management remain anonymous figures, worthy of a closer look. One of them is Dr. Michał Strykowski from Konin. In this text, I mainly focus on the pre-war period of his short, barely forty-year life.

The January deportation from the Warsaw Ghetto
The Germans had planned the beginning of the second stage of liquidation of the ghetto for 18 January 1943. The goal was to deport about 8,000 people to Treblinka. For the first time, the Jews had responded with armed resistance. The struggle lasted for only four days, but – as Cywia Lubetkin recalled after the war — „the German plan to deport all the remaining Jews of Warsaw to Treblinka was prevented”. Several members of Oneg Shabbat have died in that time – among them Gustawa Jarecka, Abraham
