today. Sixty-eight years ago and lasted for Holy Week, so that the April 21 fall out on Wednesday. I guess there is no doubt that the date of commencement of liquidation of the Warsaw ghetto by the troops commanded by * SS Brigadeführer and General Jürgen Stroppa police, was not accidental, especially considering the Easter "traditions pogroms" our continent, whose culture has - as is like to emphasize the right-wing politicians, journalists and activists of all kinds - Christian roots. Six days earlier announced the discovery of Nazi propaganda in mass graves in Katyn, which is also not a coincidence when you look at the example the German poster from 1943, where the Soviet NKVD are grotesquely Semitic features.
So no photos this time, only Czeslaw Milosz poem, written in Warsaw in 1943, a very eloquent ... and probably familiar to most readers, because it was a thorough analysis of an essay by Jan Blonski loud Fri "Poor Poles Look at the Ghetto" in 1987.

Slowly, boring a tunnel, moving a guardian mole
with a small red lamp fastened to his forehead.
touches buried bodies, counts, pushes on,
distinguishes human ashes by tęczującym vapor,
ashes of each man by a different color of the rainbow.
Bees build around a red trace
Ants build after my body.

What will I tell him that I, a Jew of the New Testament,
Waiting two thousand years for the return of Jesus?
My broken body will deliver me to his sight
And count me among the helpers of death:
uncircumcised.
