A New (or Perhaps Revived) “Uninhibitedness” Toward Jews in Germany

Deconstructing Memory and History: The Jewish Military Union (ZZW) and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
The Warsaw Ghetto uprising remains one of the best-known chapters of the Shoah, and the heroism of the insurgents continues to inspire.

The government didn’t want to build it, out of concern that any line on the ground would have a political meaning in future negotiations. In all government decisions it was emphasized that the line the army was building was only a security line and it would not be the line for future negotiations.
