La historia del gueto de Varsovia. Una resistencia imposible
Paco Ignacio Taibo II

NONFICTION | 2022 | 160 pages

In early 1943, the war in Europe intensified. In Warsaw, where Jews were being deported en masse to extermination camps, the inhabitants of the ghetto rose up against the German army led by a group of young people. Aware that the SS's superiority meant almost certain defeat, the inhabitants of the Warsaw Ghetto waged a fierce struggle for their dignity in one of the most renowned battles of World War II Jewish resistance. Thanks to meticulous historical research and great literary talent, Paco Ignacio Taibo II weaves together the turbulent stories of the young people who risked their lives to confront the genocidal Nazi war machine, when death was a certainty and there was no hope left but to offer a furious resistance to the extermination of their people. Achieving a delicate balance, the author accurately captures both the historical significance and the profound symbolic weight of this desperate uprising between heroism and futility, where there was no certainty other than death, through the everyday stories of his protagonists.
