Today in Labor History November 27, 1898: Maria Vetulani was born. She was a soldier in Poland’s war for independence, the Polish-Ukrainian war, and in World War II, as well as a fierce opponent of fascism. In 1918, she fought in the defense of Lvov against the Ukrainian occupation. She had to disguise herself as a man, because women weren’t allowed in combat then. In the 1920s, she became a socialist and married the communist Bohdan de Nisau, who was later imprisoned, tortured and murdered under Stalin. She fled the USSR and moved to Warsaw, where she helped hide Jews from the Nazis. In 1944 she participated in the Warsaw Uprising, where she was wounded. The Nazis killed her in her hospital bed. Her son also participated in the uprising and survived.#workingclass #LaborHistory #fascism #nazis #antifascism #worldwartwo #sexism #feminism #poland #ukraine #independence #soviet #communism #socialism #ussr #uprising #antisemitism #holocaust #stalin

Today in Labor History September 28, 2000: An uprising, known as the Second Intifada, began after the Camp David summit failed and Ariel Sharon, the butcher of Lebanon, visited the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Thousands of Palestinians were killed by Israeli soldiers during this Intifada. Just over 1,000 Israelis died. A tribunal held Sharon personally responsible for the 1982 Sabra and Shatila Massacre, in Beirut, during the Lebanon War, in which 3,500 Palestinian civilian refugees were slaughtered by Phalangist forces, as Israeli soldiers looked on. #workingclass #LaborHistory #palestine #intifada #israel #colonialism #freepalestine #zionism #massacre #lebanon #refugees
