While an older generation of German historians focused on the crimes of the perpetrators of the Holocaust, a younger generation has turned to the stories of the victims. Opinion editor Gal Beckerman sits down with Dr. Andrea Löw, the author of a new book, Das Warschauer Getto, about everyday life within the Warsaw Ghetto.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
