HATE Debut Video For “The Vanguard” From Just-Released Bellum Regiis Album

"Empty, Burnt Warsaw by Night," Henryk Beck, 1944.

Beck (1896-1946) was an esteemed gynecologist and obstetrician who was never a professional artist, but who took to art as a sort of visual diary.

Born in Ukraine to Polish-Jewish parents, he got his medical degree and moved to Warsaw, where he had a successful practice and taught at medical schools. He also performed Poland's first gender-reassignment surgery in 1937, to athlete Witold Smętek.

Beck fought the Nazis in WWII, but then fled to France, then back to Ukraine, where he was almost exiled to Siberia by the Soviets. He resumed medicine and teaching after the war, but died of a heart attack in 1946.

He painted in watercolors all his life, and his pictures of war-torn Warsaw, and his caricatures of the occupiers, are noted today as historical documents. Here we see the damage done by the war...but with a star giving a beam of hope. His works have been collected in a book and he's now the subject of a number of exhibits.

From the Jewish Historical Institute, Warsaw.

New at my Patreon... Visiting Warsaw's Neon Museum, I saw numerous glowing neon signs which told a tale about Poland's postwar communist regime and its ambitions:

#Villach , one morning in July 2011: this is the Polish #PKP @diningcar of #Eurocity 102 “Polonia”, bound for #Warsaw . Back then, #Vienna Hauptbahnhof being under construction, several long distance trains were extended further south, to reduce manoeuvres and the need for “parking” space in Vienna.

from the website:
"April 19 marks the anniversary of the #WarsawGhettoUprising—the largest and most heroic act of #Jewish armed resistance during World War II, and the first civilian uprising in occupied #Europe. For the past 13 years, POLIN Museum has organized the #Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Campaign, a global initiative that has engaged thousands of participants—both Jewish and non-Jewish—from #Poland and beyond.

We encourage communities around the world to learn about the events that took place on April 19th, 1943, and to share online what the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising means to you. You will find various materials and resources to help spread the campaign, as well as educational items that can be used for schools."

[Note: this campaign has many sponsors, and a major one is the World Jewish Congress, which wholeheartedly supports Israel. :-( - PL]

#Warszawa, Sierpień 2024 r.
SEM Babysem 2 (1964)

Today in Labor History April 19, 1943: The 50,000 Jews remaining in Warsaw began a desperate and heroic attempt to resist Nazi deportation to extermination camps. Their armed insurgency became known as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. There had been over 3 million Jews living in Poland prior to the Nazi occupation. The Nazis rounded them up and forced them into crowded ghettos. The Warsaw ghetto had 250,000-300,000 Jews living in abominable conditions. Roughly this same number of Jews were slaughtered at the Treblinka concentration camp within the two months the Nazis started deporting them. The Jews managed to stockpile Molotov cocktails, hand grenades, military uniforms, and even a few pistols and some explosives. However, the resistance was crushed by the Nazis on May 16.
