Four Polish banknotes in memory of the camps and the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising – 1, 20, 50, 100 Zloty
Banknotes that were issued in 1986 in Poland in memory of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The banknotes describe the stages of the ghetto: the destruction of the Jewish population by the Germans, the banishment to the extermination camps of Auschwitz, Majdanek, Treblinka and others, the armed resistance of the Jews – January-April-May – the battles against the Germans, Kiddush Hashem and the holocaust of the Polish Jews.
Warsaw Ghetto was the largest ghetto in Europe during the Holocaust. 450,000 Jews lived in the ghetto under grave conditions. Gradually and due to the many transports, their flame of life died out and the thousand years Jewry of Poland came to its end. During the last days of the ghetto, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began: a blue-and-white flag was raised above the burning roofs; the last of the Warsaw Jews proudly fought the Nazi enemy. Their heroic struggle gave new strength to their brothers in Europe and in the Land of Israel.
Condition: Very good.
