Pošta u paklu

Abstract

"U Varšavi više ne postoji jevrejska četvrt" javio je sa ponosom Jirgen Strop, general nemačkih SS trupa, svom fireru u jesen 1943. godine. Jakoj nemačkoj armiji najzad je uspelo da u krvi uguši ustanak terorom, glađu, i bolestima izmučenog jevrejskog življa u Varšavskom getu, koji je izbio 19. aprila 1943. godine. Geto, ograđena gradska četvrt za Jevreje, osnovan je još novembra meseca 1940. godine, po uzoru na drevne gradske četvrti u starom i srednjem veku. Najsiromašniji kvart okupirane Varšave opasan je malterisanim zidom visokim 8 metara, debelim dve cigle, i sa zabodenim komadima izlomljenog stakla na vrhu. Ova demarkaciona linija, bila je dugačka oko 16 kilometara, a trinaest ulaza, koji su ovaj pakao vezivali sa spoljnim svetom, bili su dobro čuvani.

On je organizaciju pošte, neophodne arterije javnog života, poverio članu jevrejske opštine Zabludovskom..."

The strong German army finally succeeded in stifling the uprising with terror, hunger, and disease of the tortured Jewish people in the Warsaw Ghetto, which erupted on April 19, 1943. Ghetto, a fenced-in Jewish neighborhood, was founded in November 1940, modeled after the ancient city and medieval neighborhoods. The poorest neighborhood of occupied Warsaw is encircled by a plastered wall 8 meters high, two bricks thick, and with pinned pieces of broken glass on top. This demarcation line was about 16 kilometers long, with the thirteen well-guarded entrances, which bound this hell with the outside world. On the forehead of the most famous Warsaw ghetto, whose inhabitants offered heroic resistance to the enemy before they were finally destroyed, was engineer A. Chernyakov. He entrusted the organization of the post office to a member of the Jewish community of Zabludovsky..."
