Day 3 - Jewish Warsaw

Today we went to the Nozyk Synagogue (which actually survived the Second World War) and the Zydowski Instytut Historyczny (Jewish Historical Institute Museum).  The latter had a film showing images of suffering in the ghetto so sickening that it was almost unbearable to watch - in all my time of studying war representation, I haven't seen anything like it.  Not much to say except that, oddly, I found most poignant of all the information that the autumn of 1942 was particularly beautiful.
