Funny how a few poorly armed Jews in Warsaw lasted longer then the French Army.

Warsaw Ghetto uprising ping!!!

[cynicom]

There was another uprising with even more slaughter. The Russians camped outside Warsaw and let the Germans eliminate anyone that had any idea of freedom after the war.

Leon Uris wrote an excellent book on the subject called "Mila 18"

The lesson here is even though the enemy thinks it has won, a Westerner finds a way to resist to the last pint of blood, drop of sweat, ounce of strength, and to the last moment of their life; even though they know they are doomed.

CAMP GUNFREE.
A common sense and historically proven way to keep those dangerous and destructive GUNS out of YOUR life.
MEMBERSHIPS AVAILABLE NOW!
Details below

Concerned about the easy availability of guns in our society?

Alarmed about the "gun nuts" and other freedom wackos the government allows to run loose?

Wish the government would just repeal the Second Amendment and confiscate all the guns because you believe sensible people shouldn't suffer because of some idiotic notion about some antiquated “right?”

While we can't take the guns away from the people, we CAN take the people (or at least SOME of them) away from their guns.

At CAMP GUNFREE, we have created an atmosphere of near-total tranquility where you and your family will experience the benefits of a GUN FREE environment.

The unique main gate at Camp GunFree. Most arriving camp guests never see this view from their comfortable rail cars.

Each of our camps is a gated community designed to keep guns away from camp guests. Firmly enforced security measures ensure that these dangerous and destructive devices are kept outside. Each camp boasts 24 hour, 7 day a week sentries and state-of-the-art enclosure systems, guard dogs, trenches and surveillance equipment to absolutely GUARANTEE that no firearms enter the facility. Rigidly controlled access ensures that no guns can ever be smuggled in.

No cost has been spared to ensure that Camp GunFree remains gun free.

All camp members are given distinctive uniforms to distinguish them from any gun-toting barbarians who might attempt to evade our security measures. Each camp member is also assigned a distinctive ID number to ensure that only the right people are allowed within the camp.

Room and board are provided to each member in exchange for rewarding tasks designed to provide a sense of accomplishment and to demonstrate that large numbers of people CAN exist in a gun violence free community.

Camp members engaged in one of our many fun-filled organized work activities.

The current headlines prompt us to remind you that there has NEVER been a shooting by a student in any of the camp schools and we can GUARANTEE that there never will be!!

All four grandparents came here in their teens, I have many cousins still in Poland and had the wonderful opportunity to go there about 8 years ago...was at the Jewish ghetto monument, several many other gravesites of polish resistence, and ofcourse, the most humbling, Auschwitz. There are definately lessons to be learned by all of this.

While I have watched and heard my family struggle from wanting freedom from communism, to giving up "being taken care of" to suddenly within the past decade start to realize the fruits of freedom....I am amazed that there are so many in our country who want government control.

Would appreciate being added to your ping list. Thanks

What if all the jews in the 1930's, owned personal firearms, and fought to defend themselves, instead of meekly walking into a gas chamber?

The liberal democrat gun control Jews in Isreal learned this lesson well, the jews in New York have no idea what the holocast was about, or why it happened.

[Revolting cat!]

I'd like to recommend a memoir by Wladyslaw Szpilman titled The Pianist, which was the basis for the Roman Polanski film of the same title (opening soon, but read the book instead.) Szpilman was a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto, and while the book is not about the Uprising itself or about the subsequent Warsaw Uprising which was a much bigger affair and has been totally disregarded if not suppressed in the freeiest country of all for purely political reasons, it covers both events and covers them with the kind of honesty that's no longer possible today, probably because it was written immediately the war (and suppressed not much longer after that.)

Otherwise, read the fiction by some American literary hack or read the historical fiction by politically correct (and corrected) American historians.

Bump from a Ukrainian (father's side). Wasn't Lvov in Poland before Adolf and Uncle Joe partioned it, and then reverted to Ukraine?

In my opinion, it is far better to fight to the death than ever to surrender. The enemy at the Warsaw Getto and those of today will kill us all want only our death - Jews & Christians alike. I think the Warsaw Ghetto is a metaphor for Israel today and the USA - fight & be free, at worst die free. Surrender & your death and the death of all you love is certain. Fight and be free. Do not submit & do not walk quietly to the showers. Never surrender, never quit. Fight!
