With the 80th anniversary of this momentous event upon us in April, Dr. Zachary Mazur will reflect on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in stark contrast against the stereotype of Jewish passivity during the Holocaust. This presentation will draw upon some never before seen sources and images that were discovered in the process of preparing the POLIN Museum’s temporary exhibition “Around Us a Sea of Fire” on the civilian experience in bunkers and hideouts during the Uprising. The exhibit avoids any use of sources, either in text or photographs, from the perpetrators, focusing entirely on victims and bystanders.

Zachary Mazur earned his Ph.D. at Yale University and is currently a Senior Historian at the POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews in Warsaw. His research interests are in 20th-century East Central Europe, national identity, law and economics.
