"Ghetto on Fire" is a comic by Tomasz Bereźnicki, which presents the drama of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in an extremely suggestive way. Through the fate of three young Jewish women, the reader learns about the realities of life in the ghetto, the brutality of the German occupiers and the heroism of the insurgents who fought for dignity and survival with weapons in their hands.
The narrator is Daniela, a liaison officer and paramedic of the Jewish Combat Organization, who miraculously survived the pacification of the bunker at 18 Miła Street. Thanks to her account, we learn about the history of the ghetto from the moment it was created, through the daily life of its inhabitants, to the tragic events at Umschlagplatz and the deportation of Jews to the Treblinka extermination camp. The comic shows the ruthlessness of the Nazi tormentors and the determination of young female and male fighters who are aware of the inevitability of fate, but ready to die for freedom.
The comic was created on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the outbreak of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and is a lasting testimony to the memory of these tragic events. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the history of the Holocaust and pay tribute to the heroes who fought for dignity in the face of death. This publication is one of the few on the Polish book market that shows the drama of the insurgents in the Warsaw Ghetto in the form of a comic (graphic novel). This position is all the more remarkable because we learn about the tragic events by following the fate of three young Jewish women, friends from the backyard, who, in the face of German Nazi terror, take up arms to fight the occupier.
The Warsaw Ghetto Museum, the publisher of this comic, cares for preserving the memory of the history and culture of Polish Jews. Through publications, exhibitions and educational programs, the museum provides knowledge about the Holocaust and promotes intercultural dialogue. By purchasing this comic, you support the museum's activities and contribute to preserving the memory of the victims of the Nazi regime.
