1943: Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Begun 63 Years Ago
What we grieve for is not the loss of a grand vision, but rather the loss of common things, events and gestures. ... Ordinariness is the most precious thing we struggle for, what the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto fought for. Not noble causes or abstract theories. But the right to go on living with a sense of purpose and a sense of self-worth—an ordinary life.
—Irena Klepfisz, survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, on the forty-fifth anniversary of the uprising.
