It took us a moment to absorb the shocking news of Hamas’ attack on Israel. We remain speechless in the face of this unprecedented situation that has already been compared to the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center in NYC. The loss of even one human being is irreplaceable, yet hundreds have died since last Saturday. Many of us here at the Jewish Historical Institute have close friends or professional colleagues in Israel. In these horrifying times, we stand with and by all of you. We pray for the State of Israel and all the wounded, captured, and families who lost their relatives.

Director Monika Krawczyk with the staff of the Emanuel Ringelblum Jewish Historical Institute

There is a huge void after this great Holocaust | March of Remembrance 2024
On July 22, the March of Remembrance passed through the streets of Warsaw for the thirteenth time. We honoured the victims of the mass extermination of the Warsaw Ghetto on the 82nd anniversary of the so-called Grossaktion. From July 22 to September 21, 1942, the Germans deported approximately 300,000 Warsaw Jews to the Treblinka extermination camp. We dedicated this year’s March to the rabbis of the Warsaw Ghetto.
