Warsaw, March 28, 2001, Roman Polanski & Adrien Brody
A pencil portrait I did of Jessica Kate Meyer from The Pianist.
Today, April 19th, is the anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising during World War II. There is a fantastic museum in Warsaw dedicated to this uprising and it’s a Must See if you’re in Warsaw. I found out yesterday that there’s a memorial to this uprising in Riverside Park at 83rd Street. I’m going to go pay my respects before work. If you feel like watching The Zookeeper’s WifeorThe Pianist. There’s a movie about the Jewish Uprising but I can’t remember the name (comment if you remember it! It’s the street address of the secret meeting place!) Here are a few photos from the museum.
The original mermaid that stood in the Old Town before the Germans bombed them as punishment for the uprising.
They used the sewers to get around and deliver messages and weapons. This is what you’d see under a safe exit.
The symbol of the uprising.
The flags of the uprising.
And around the city you’ll see several monuments dedicated to those who fought:
The Littler Uprising Monument - dedicated to all the children who helped sneak past guards with messages and weapons.
The Warsaw Uprising Monument
Adrien Brody, in order to star as Wladyslaw Szpilman in The Pianist, “withdrew for months, gave up his apartment and his car, broke up with his then-girlfriend, learned how to play Chopin on the piano, and lost 29” pounds, which earned him the Academy Award for Best Actor at 29 years old.
