Conference to mark 80th Anniversary of Sealing Off the Warsaw Ghetto
Conference to mark 80th Anniversary of Sealing Off the Warsaw Ghetto23.10.2020 07:13:32
Together with Museum of the History of Polish Jews POLIN and Jewish Historical Institute we have honour to invite for Academic Conference »…the news came like a bolt from the blue." 80th Anniversary of Sealing Off the Warsaw Ghetto« - November 16th, 10.00 AM (CET)

On 16 November 1940, armed guards appeared in the streets leading to the „Jewish residential district” established by the Germans in Warsaw. This symbolic date marks the creation of the largest Jewish ghetto in Nazi-occupied Europe. The 80th anniversary of the event has given rise to the idea of organizing an academic conference.
We cordially invite you to participate in the online conference:
The first ghettos in occupied Poland were established as early as the autumn of 1939. The Warsaw Ghetto was established a year later. Its creation was a complex, dynamic process. A large section of Warsaw's city centre was transformed into a prison where 450,000 Jews lived and died.
The conference aims at discussing various aspects connected with the establishment of the Warsaw Ghetto. The issues to be raised include changing plans of the Germans and their actions, the dilemmas of the Jewish population as well as the perception of ghettoization by Jews and their Polish neighbors. The little-known stories of non-Jewish Poles who found themselves imprisoned in the ghetto will also be discussed..
