Witold Pilecki - Pilecki's early life.
Witold Pilecki was born May 13, 1901, in Olonets on the shores of Lake Ladoga in Karelia, Russia, where his family had been forcibly resettled by Tsarist Russian authorities after the suppression of Poland's January Uprising of 1863-1864. His grandfather, Józef Pilecki, had spent seven years in exile in Siberia for his part in the Uprising. In 1910 Pilecki moved with his family to Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania), where he completed Commercial School and joined the secret ZHP scouts organization. In 1916 he moved to Orel, ...

| | | | Witold Pilecki: Encyclopedia II - Warsaw Uprising - Eve of the battle The Home Army's initial plans for a national uprising, Operation Tempest, which would link up with British forces, changed in 1943 when it became apparent that the Red Army would force the Germans from Poland. The discovery of the Katyn massacre occasioned the breaking-off of Polish-Soviet relations in April, and they never properly recovered. Although doubts existed about the military wisdom of a major uprising, the planning continued.
The situation came to a head as Operation Bagration, the Soviet attack on Germany, reached the old ...

The Holocaust - Who was directly involved in the killings?.
In addition to the direct involvement of Nazi forces, most European countries allied with or occupied by the Axis Powers collaborated with the Nazis in the Holocaust. Collaboration took the form of either rounding up of the local Jews for deportation to the German ex ...

| | | | Witold Pilecki: Encyclopedia II - Jan Karski - World War II After crossing into German-held part of Poland, in November of 1939 he managed to escape a train to a POW camp and found his way to Warsaw. There he joined the ZWZ, the first resistance organization in occupied Europe and a predecessor of Armia Krajowa. About that time he adopted a nom de guerre of Jan Karski, which later became his surname. Other noms de guerre used by him during World War II included Witold, Piasecki, Kwaśniewski, Znamierowski, Kruszewski and Kuch ...

According to the capitulation agreement the Wehrmacht promised to treat Home Army soldiers in accordance with the Geneva Convention, and to treat the civilian population humanely. Fighting was so fierce that SS chief Heinrich Himmler remarked: One of the ...

| | | | Witold Pilecki: Encyclopedia II - Warsaw Uprising - Lack of outside support The limited landings by the 1st Polish army, mentioned above, represented the only external forces who arrived to support the uprising. There was limited support in terms of airdrops from the Western allies, (the Royal Air Force and the Polish Air Force made 223 sorties and lost 34 aircraft), but the effect of these airdrops were mostly psychological, as all but one American airdrop had to be carried out using bases in faraway Italy. Although the Soviets briefly (13 September–28) provided some airdrops, without parachutes, they active ...

| | | | Witold Pilecki: Encyclopedia II - The Holocaust - Death toll The exact number of people killed by the Nazi regime will never be known, but scholars, using a variety of methods of determining the death toll, have generally agreed upon common range of the number of victims. Recently declassified British and Soviet documents have indicated the total may be somewhat higher than previously believed[7]. However, the following estimates are considered to be highly reliable. The estimates:
5.1–6.0 million Jews, ...

| | | | Witold Pilecki: Encyclopedia II - Warsaw Uprising - The battle The uprising began officially in daylight at 17:00 on "W-hour" August 1, a decision which is now regarded as a costly mistake. Although the Germans failed to realise that extra activity and early fights with the insurgents were linked and had not developed a plan for dealing with the uprising, they received warning, reportedly from a Polish woman, an hour before the start. Lack of surprise, sudden changes of plan, inexperience in day fighting and incomplete mobilisation meant that many of the early objectives of the uprising were not achieve ...

| | | | Witold Pilecki: Encyclopedia II - Warsaw Uprising - The legacy Due to lack of cooperation and often the active aggressive moves on the part of the Soviets and several other factors, the Warsaw Uprising and Operation Tempest failed in their primary goal: to free part of the Polish territories so that a government loyal to the Polish government-in-exile could be established there instead of a Soviet puppet state. There is no consensus among historians as to whether that was ever possible, or whether those operations had any other lasting effect. Some argue that without Operation Tempest and the Warsaw Upr ...

| | | | Witold Pilecki: Encyclopedia II - The Holocaust - Etymology and usage of the term Main article: Names of the Holocaust
The word holocaust originally derived from the Greek word holokauston, meaning "a completely (holos) burnt (kaustos) sacrificial offering" to a god. Since the late 19th century, 'holocaust' has primarily been used to refer to disasters or catastrophes. By the late 1970s, however, the conventional meaning of the word became the Nazi genocide. The term is also used by many in a narrower sense, to refer specifically ...

The Holocaust - Premeditation.
In 1904, Alfred Ploetz founded the German Eugenics Society. Sixteen years later, a work seminal to the development of the German eugenics movement, The Permission to Destroy Life Unworthy of Life, was published. Written by Karl Binding, a widely respected judge, and renowned psychiatrist Alfred Hoche, the work was ...

The Holocaust - Holocaust theology.
On account of the magnitude of the Holocaust, many theologians have re-examined the classical theological views on God's goodness and actions in the world. Some believers and apostates question whether people can still have any faith after the Holocaust, and some of the theological responses to these questions are explored in Holocaust theology.
The Holocaust - Art and literature.

The Holocaust - Resistance.
Due to the careful organization and overwhelming military might of the Nazi German state and its supporters, few Jews and other Holocaust victims were able to resist the killings. There are, however, many cases of attempts at resistance in one form or another.
The largest instance of organized Jewish resistance was the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, from April to May of 1943, as the final deportation from the Ghetto to the death camps was about to commence. The ZOB and smaller organiza ...

The Holocaust - Concentration and Labor Camps 1933-1945.
Main article: Concentration camp. See also: Nazi concentration camp badges
Starting in 1933, the Nazis set up concentration camps within Germany, many of which were established by local authorities, to hold political prisoners and "undesirables". These early concentration camps were eventually consolidated into centrally run camps, and by 1939, six large concentration camps had been established. After 1939, with the beginning of the Second Wor ...
