Let it also be commemorated as epitomizing our resolve to never let such an awful tragedy happen again. In 1939 Warsaw was the most Jewish of European cities. Before World War II. the Jewish population of Poland numbered more than 3 million. and there were some 433.000 Jews in Warsaw. In early 1940. German occupation authorities began to concentrate Jews in restricted districts in each town and locality in Poland. The period of deportations. confiscations. arrests. and terror had begun. Polish Jews were victims of looting. murder. starvation. and other forms of SS violence. One by one restrictive regulations were enacted.
