Thea
Borzuk Slawner poses with her mother on the occasion of her second
birthday party, which was celebrated behind the walls of the Warsaw
Ghetto. Despite living in appalling conditions, Warsaw's Jews spared
no effort to retain their humanity. Religious and family celebrations
became symbols of Jewish resistance. Thea and her mother escaped
the ghetto just prior to the 1943 uprising. They survived the war,
living among gentiles under assumed names. Photo: Thea Boruzk Slawner / United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Photo Archive |
