Mila 18, Warsaw, Poland

“I'm in Warsaw Poland, and today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. In the frigid negative temperatures, I walked through the streets of Warsaw to honor the Jews who were murdered here by the Nazis. I stopped off at 18 Mila Street to remember Mordechai Anielewicz, and the ŻOB [Żydowska Organizacja Bojowa, Polish for the Jewish Combat Organization, which was instrumental in engineering the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising].” [emphasis added; [comment] inserted]

My Dad's boyhood home was at Mila 21 in Warsaw. He and my Mom (also a Warsaw native) survived the Holocaust (along with their then-toddler son). Mom and Dad both lived into their 80's, passing away in their retirement in Tampa, Florida.
