Mordechai Anielewicz, along with 80 young fighters, makes a dramatic decision – they all commit mass suicide , says Hanna Dzielińska (Hanka Warszawianka), journalist and tour guide, in the second part of "Walks in the Footsteps of the Ghetto," dedicated to the Anielewicz Bunker . This bunker, now defunct, was located at the corner of Miła and Dubois Streets in Warsaw's Muranów district. At the end of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, fighters from the Jewish Combat Organization, including their commander, Mordechai Anielewicz, hid there, and then died on May 8, 1943.
"Varsavianist Walks in the Footsteps of the Ghetto" is a film series of 16 columns revealing the history of places and the people connected with them. The following sites will be presented: Umschlagplatz; Anielewicz Mound; Szmul Zygielbojm Monument; Ghetto Heroes Monument; Grzybowski Square; Mariańska Street and the Nursing School; the Nożyk Synagogue; the Great Synagogue on Tłomackie Street; Nalewki Street; the Femina Cinema and Theatre; the Courts on Leszno Street; Chłodna Street; Waliców Street; the Jewish Cemetery and the Bersohn and Bauman Hospital – the site of the Warsaw Ghetto Museum's permanent exhibition.
