For several years now, the POLIN Museum in Warsaw has been organizing the “Yellow Daffodil” initiative, which commemorates the uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto that started in 1943. This initiative aims to celebrate the heroic struggle of the people against evil and their will to survive. The yellow daffodil was chosen to represent one of the Warsaw Ghetto fighters, Marek Edelman, who survived. After the war, he stayed in Poland, studied medicine, and became a cardiologist.
