Warsaw Ghetto: Labyrinth of memories

On April 19, 1943, German troops entered the ghetto to deport the last survivors. Despite being outnumbered and outgunned, the Jewish resistance fighters fought for nearly a month before being crushed, killed or sent to death camps. The ghetto was then razed to the ground. 

There were very few survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, but those still alive and their descendants carry memories of the ghetto to this day.

Eighty years on, how is Poland remembering those events in a country ruled by a right-wing populist government?

Narimène Laouadi and Renaud Lefort revisit the Warsaw Ghetto for FRANCE 24.
