Description

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising has become a symbol of heroism throughout the world. A short time before the uprising began, two young leaders addressed their respective resistance organizations: Mordechai Anielewicz and Pawel Frenkel. They spoke of fighting with guns in hand, knowing that most would fall, but determined to live on through future generations and in the pages of history. On April 19, 1943, German forces entered the Warsaw ghetto, equipped with tanks, flame throwers, and machine guns. The Jewish fighters, armed with pistols and Molotov cocktails, stood against them. This groundbreaking work recounts a true tale of daring, courage, and sacrifice that should be accurately told out of respect for the fighters who rose against the German attempt to liquidate the ghetto. The generally accepted account of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is incomplete. The truth begins with the existence of two resistance organizations in the ghetto, each led by a young commander. Included is the complete text of The Stroop Report translated into English, providing a unique insight into this pivotal event.
