79 years ago today, Jews living in the #WarsawGhetto responded with armed resistance when the German forces began the liquidation of the Ghetto. The #WarsawGhettoUprising became a worldwide symbol of the struggle against the #Holocaust. Photos from the #IPNArchive collection.

#WarsawGhettoUprising broke out #OTD in 1943. It was the largest act of armed resistance taken up by the Jews during #WWII. The advantage of the Germans gave no hope of victory, but insurgents chose to die holding a gun in their hands to save dignity after years of repression.

Erdogan is veel populairder in Vlaanderen dan in Turkije. 72% stemde op hem. De Europese Turken zijn een vorm van electorale doping. De enige manier om de indoctrinatie van Turken in VL te stoppen, is het onmogelijk maken om voor Erdogan te stemmen. #deafspraak
