MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 17, 1942: The Nazis gassed the first Jews from the Lvov Ghetto at the Belzec death camp. The city was 50% Polish, 32% Jewish and 16% Ukrainian and then part of Nazi-occupied Poland. In July, 1941, the ultranationalist Ukrainian People's Militia launched a pogrom on the city’s Jews. In 1943, the Nazis decided to murder all the remaining Jews of the Ghetto, many of whom fought back with Molotov cocktails. The city is now part of Ukraine.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingdlass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingdlass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/holocaust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>holocaust</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ukraine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/molotov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>molotov</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poland</span></a></p>
