In Pictures: Poland marks 75th anniversary of Warsaw Ghetto uprising

Poland has marked 75 years since the Warsaw Ghetto uprising against the Nazis amid some recrimination about current attitudes.

The rebellion was eventually doomed but saw Poles, in what was once Europe’s biggest Jewish community, resist longer against the invaders than some countries did.

Officials marked the occasion but there were also voices of dissent, amid claims of intolerance in the modern-day world.
