The Story of the Minsk Ghetto: Establishment and Unceasing Terror [On the Holocaust]
On the Holocaust - Yad Vashem - Un pódcast de Yad Vashem
Categorías:
The Minsk Ghetto was the fourth-largest ghetto, but for many reasons, its story is virtually unknown. Most of the witnesses and testimonies relating to it remained behind the Iron Curtain for many years, or their words remained sealed in archives that were only recently opened. This is not a story about “another ghetto.” The Minsk Ghetto was unique in many respects: its location within the Soviet Union; its population, the majority Sovietized Jews who were joined by refugees from Poland and deportees from the Reich; and the strong underground that operated in the ghetto almost from its inception. This time on “On the Holocaust,” we will devote two episodes to the story of the Minsk Ghetto.Featured guest: Dr. Daniel Romanovsky, historian and researcher at Yad Vashem’s International Institute for Holocaust Research.
