oh yeah, Bebro probably refers to the uprising in Warsaw's Ghetto. That's how it is called here. One of the central roads in my home town in named "of the heroes of the ghetto"

2 years ago I used to live in the very centre of former Warsaw ghetto, next to the square dedicated to heroes of the ghetto. The bus stop is Nalewki, the name which is synonim of a jewish street. Except for one church, the ghetto, a large part of the city, was levelled to the ground, so the buildings are "new", from the fifties I think, low flats. They are not interesting, yet because of trees all around I find this area nice. There's a big monument of uprising in Warsaw ghetto in the central part. Part of the square is dedicated to Willy Brandt, and there's a monument of him as he's on his knees before the mentioned monument. The monument of Brandt reflect the shape of ghetto one. The ghetto square is lovely, especially the half (a road divides it in half) with the main statue, there are so nice trees there. The other side has less trees, and people tend to lay there, sometimes sun-bathing. Yet, they are planning to disturb this tranquility by building Museum of Polish Jews on this spot. I think it's a very bad idea. Any building there will completely destroy the square's characteristics. Unless it's an underground one.
