Miła 18 Memorial
Grass-covered mound and stone obelisk marking the underground command bunker where Warsaw Ghetto Uprising fighters died in nineteen forty-three.
This guide to the Mila 18 Memorial in Warsaw returns to May 8, 1943, three weeks into the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, when German soldiers finally located the one bunker they wanted most: a cramped shelter under Mila Street 18, built by smugglers and sheltering roughly three hundred people. It was the command post of the Jewish Combat Organization, led by twenty-four-year-old Mordechaj Anielewicz, the ragtag militia that had done what almost no one else under occupation dared: fight back. Listen for the names carved into the stone obelisk marking this ground today.
