80th anniversary of the Sobibór Uprising

80th anniversary of the Sobibór Uprising

On October 14, 1943, an uprising of prisoners led by Aleksander “Sasza” Peczerski broke out in the German Nazi extermination camp in Sobibór. One of the participants of the rebellion was Moshe Bahir (Szklarek) from Płock (1927-2002). As he recalled years later, the Sobibór camp had only one task – to murder as many Jews as possible in the shortest possible time. According to his account, there were several cases of resistance in the camp, including one at the end of 1942: a transport of women arrived, they stood naked before going to the “baths”, many of them with children in their arms. At one point they attacked the Germans and Ukrainian guards with milk bottles, punched and scratched them. The attacked guards became furious and fired a series of shots at the women.

On October 14, 1943, the conspirators killed several SS men, and several hundred prisoners began a chaotic escape. About 300 Jews managed to escape to the nearby forest. The number of participants of the uprising who managed to survive the war is estimated at about 40-70 people.

Jewish women of Płock in the face of the Polish-Bolshevik war. New publication of the Nobiscum Foundation

Jewish women of Płock in the face of the Polish-Bolshevik war. New publication of the Nobiscum Foundation

We are pleased to inform you that our new publication – “Jewish women of pre-war Płock. Part I” – is now available (in Polish).

Full of energy, strength, passion and determination, women have always played an important role in the history of Płock. Many of them can still be extremely inspiring for the next generations of girls and women. We, as the Nobiscum Foundation, are also trying to restore the memory of Jewish women associated with Płock.

The publication by Gabriela Nowak-Dąbrowska was based on archival materials stored in the State Archives in Płock and information contained in students’ personal files in the collection of the Archives of the University of Warsaw. We hope that it will allow us to recover the forgotten herstories of our city, bring the pre-war residents of Płock of Jewish origin out of oblivion, and encourage you to tour the city in their footsteps.

In the first part, we present 10 women. What they have in common is courage, dedication and commitment in various fields in the face of the Polish-Bolshevik war.

The publication is now available for sale for PLN 15 at the Płock Local Tourist Organization (8 Old Market Square) and by mail order at the Nobiscum Foundation (contact: info@fundacjanobiscum.eu)
