Thanks for your email, Jon.

 

You bring up many interesting questions! When I first read the original email, I wondered how many other libraries (like ours) have wall map collections that aren’t traditionally catalogued / searchable online. We don’t have this map… but your email inspired me to look and I did discover some interesting translations / spellings.

I've never wanted to buy an antique map. Literally have had to tell people no thank you at any price in 15 years of being a map librarian.

And I've always run screaming from classroom maps.

And this one is in really bad shape, so I'm not saying I would have wanted to buy this one.

Who has this uncataloged or cataloged in english? or made a typo in the Polish? At first I thought it was 1 library worldwide, but then I loosened my search. There's a few, and this is also part of a series with counterpart maps for Gdańsk, Kraków, Białystok and a few others.

UIUC has a Warszawa that came out of a looser search:

Who is in the AND overlap of the Judaica and maps collecting Venn diagram?

(ps: I wouldn't pay a penny over $500 for this because it needs a minimum of $5000 worth of conservation work.)

Sites in the Warsaw region of resistance fights and campaigns, showing the size and nature of the battles and incidents, as well as Nazi concentration camps. Specific symbols are explained in Polish, French, English, German and Russian at the bottom left. Important context for the Warsaw Ghetto uprising within other resistance activity in the region.

“The Warsaw ghetto uprising was the largest and, symbolically, most important Jewish uprising during World War II. It was also the first urban uprising in German-occupied Europe. The Jewish resistance in Warsaw inspired uprisings in other ghettos such as in Bialystok and Minsk....In January 1943, German SS and police units returned to the Warsaw ghetto to resume mass deportations. They planned to send thousands of the ghetto’s remaining Jews to forced-labor camps in the Lublin District of the General Government.A small group of Jewish fighters, armed with pistols, infiltrated a column of Jews being forced to the Umschlagplatz (transfer point). At a prearranged signal, this group broke ranks and fought their German escorts. Most of the Jewish fighters died in the battle. However, the attack disoriented the Germans. As a result, the Jews who were arranged in columns at the Umschlagplatz had a chance to disperse.

Jewish resistance leaders also encouraged fellow ghetto inhabitants to defy deportation orders and hide from German authorities. Seizing only 5,000-6,500 ghetto residents, the Germans suspended further deportations on January 21.Encouraged by the apparent success of the resistance, people in the ghetto began to construct subterranean bunkers and shelters. They were preparing for an uprising should the Germans attempt a final deportation of the remaining Jews from the ghetto.

On April 19, 1943, the eve of the Passover holiday, the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto began their final act of armed resistance against the Germans. Lasting twenty-seven days, this act of resistance came to be known as the Warsaw ghetto uprising…. About 700 young Jewish fighters clashed with German forces, sometimes in hand-to-hand combat. These fighters were poorly equipped and lacked military training and experience. The ZOB did have the advantage of waging a guerilla war. They would strike, and then retreat, to the safety of ghetto buildings, bunkers, and underground tunnels. The general ghetto population likewise thwarted German deportation efforts, refusing to assemble at collection points and burrowing in underground bunkers” (USHMM.org).
