Mila 18 monument, Warsaw, Poland.
Mila 18 monument, Warsaw, Poland. In 1940, Nazi Germany isolated Warsaw's Jews in a ghetto. In 1942 about 500,000 people were living a hand-to-mouth existence there, suffering terrible hardships. After an uprising in February 1943, the Germans killed an estimated 40,000 people in reprisal. Only about 200 Jews remained when the city was liberated by Soviet soldiers in 1945. Blocks of flats have now risen on the edges of the Ghetto and a stone marker in Polish, Hebrew and Yiddish marks where Mila 18, the nerve centre of the uprising, was located.
