And they shall live in the House of the Lord

Here’s the theme: It’s a David vs. Goliath scenario                   or The Maccabes vs. the Nazi’s The time is April 19, 1943 The place is Warsaw, Poland They lived in tunnels and sewers They stole. What did they steal? Weapons from the enemy. Who were they? 750 fighters.       Their only crime?       They were Jews Their leader was a man named Mordechai Who was the enemy?      The Nazi’s Their leader was a soldier named Stroop. Ten thousand well equipped troops.       It was Pistols, hand grenades and shotguns       vs. tanks, aircraft, and cannons The Uprising started on Passover eve The Jews held on for 40 days. The cost (in human live’s) 56000 Jews were captured 7000 were shot to death The rest sent to the death camps The only reason? They were Jews. Scapegoats for a war that killed millions. Why? Because they were Jews!
