Conference: “Though if it be to die, we will fight… and our deeds will live forever”.
The Warsaw ghetto uprising took place in German-occupied Poland between 19 April and 16 May 1943 as an act of fierce and desperate resistance to Nazi Germany's efforts to transport the ghetto's remaining population to death camps in Majdanek and Treblinka.
The conference, entitled: ‘Though if it be to die, we will fight… and our deeds will live forever’, will pay tribute to the heroes of the Warsaw ghetto uprising on it’s 80th anniversary.
The event will be streamed live from the ECR Group’s YouTube channel.
