Thanks for the answer, I don't like to see the pictures of the people who were tortured, it is too sad.

Good morning GERT! may be only where i am at.// It is early and I am fresh on the thoughts. Well done and written, but as you said an uprising for the Jewish forced to live ghetto. Has been a process being lifted from many who have fought back, during the time lots of innocent lives where lost do to others belief men created, to hate their own. Well done Gert, many can wonder with lots of subjects related to this Tanka you have for us today, enjoyed,..p.d

The Ghetto was the first step toward the camps. I love hearing the stories of those rescued from those places. I don't know much about the Uprising. WAs it one specific event? Luv, andrea

Indeed. A very unpleasant part of history that put shame on the human factor. Actually it is worse than animals really what happened to them and what is still happening in part of the world today. Good tanka, Gert and thank you for your kind wishes. I needed that, for I went through a little troubled time, but I will be ok. I always bounce back. Have a nice one too, Caroline.

Sad statement in this great tanka, Gert. My mother's family was from Poland, near the outskirts of Warsaw. You paint a clear image of what it must have been like to witness the uprising. And, again, I feel like I'm learning German from you. Many thanks! Love, Carolyn
