1943

The German Army crushed the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw ghetto.



The Nazis created the Jewish ghetto in Warsaw in 1940 and about 500,000 people were crammed into an area not bigger than one square mile (2ยท6 sq km).

Its inhabitants were systematically transported to Treblinka and those who fought in the legendary Jewish uprising would rather have died with dignity than be taken to the death camps.

About 50 of the 1,000 fighters escaped through the sewers and some fought in the second Warsaw uprising by the Polish Home Army in August 1944.

About 40,000 Jews were massacred in reprisal for the uprising. When Soviet troops liberated Warsaw on 17 January 1945 only about 200 Jews remained and the old city had been virtually destroyed.

1968

3 people were killed after a Tower Bock, Ronan Point, in London's east end, partially collapsed.

Can't think of too many occasions when buildings, bridges or structures in the UK have failed.

In those days, the Labour leadership showed a bit of fight.

Hard to imagine Mr Milliband ever doing this.
