World Update

Available for over a year

For the first time since World War Two, the Jewish Passover ritual of Seder will be celebrated in the Warsaw Ghetto. In 1943, after many months of starvation, everyone in the Ghetto was either killed or sent to concentration camps. This Passover, Sharon Ben Shem has come from Israel to Warsaw for the very first time for the feast and also for a concert in honour of her aunt, the child prodigy, Josima Feldschuh. She spoke to Ben James. (Image: Warsaw, Poland in 1943. Credit: Keystone/Getty Images)
