🧵80 years ago after suffering unimaginable sickness, starvation, beatings, death and deportation, Jewish fighters rose up against their Nazi captors in a heroic act of resistance known today as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.

This is their story:

#IHRD
In 1939, the Nazis began the forced removal of three million Polish Jews from their homes and transferred them to crowded Ghettos across Poland, including Europe's largest, the Warsaw Ghetto.

By November 1940, 380,000 Jews were sealed inside the Warsaw ghetto.
The 380,000 Jews were crammed into an area of just 1.3 sq miles, surrounded by walls they were forced to build.

Conditions in the Ghetto were horrific.

80,000+ Jews died as a result of overcrowding & starvation. Those who remained alive were completely cut off from the outside.

Important 🧵: Extremist Palestinians are claiming on social media that Israelis are planning on storming the Al Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem today.

This is an OUTRIGHT LIE being used by Palestinian terrorists to encourage attacks on Israelis.

Here's what's really going on.
Tisha B’Av (which began yesterday at night & ends at sundown today) is a national day of mourning which marks the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

Jews in Israel & around the world spend the day in fast & prayer, remembering both Holy Temples destroyed on this day.
For Jews, this is the saddest day of the year, marking the destruction of their holiest site and a series of calamities which befell the Jewish people.

For centuries, it has been a custom for Jews to go up to the Temple Mount where the Temple once stood on the Ninth of Av.

I was 4 when the Germans arrived in our town.

First the curfews started.
