The articles mixes the terms "Warsaw Ghetto uprising" and "Warsaw Uprising". They were two separate uprisings [1]. The fact that the author does not know that makes any of his claims on the subject questionable. I mean it's absolutely basic knowledge for anyone interested in the subject.
[1] The Jewish one being an order of magnitude smaller - it lead to death of around 13k Jews and a demolition of one district of Warsaw (the Ghetto), while the Polish one lead to death of 150k-200k Poles and demolition of majority of Warsaw.
- detaro 6y agoHow does it mix them? Just because it, after clearly establishing which one it talks about, once says "the Warsaw uprising" (note lack of capitalization?)? None of the facts seem mixed up?
- burntoutfire 6y agoIt refers to Warsaw Ghetto Uprising as "the Warsaw Uprising", which looks like lack of knowledge that these are two distinct uprisings.
- detaro 6y agoI think it's pretty clear that when it says at one point "the Warsaw uprising" it means "the uprising in Warsaw this article has been talking about then entire thing", not "the Warsaw Uprising". Bit sloppy, maybe? Indicative of lack of knowledge, don't think so.
