Today is exactly 80 years since the beginning of
Warsaw ghetto uprising that was a first of big uprisings against German rule inside occupied Europe. If you ask why Jews in ghetto from both their underground military organizations ZZW and ŻOB start this upraising to my mind comes words of Marek Edelman (ZOB second in command):
Quote:
The majority of us favoured an uprising. After all, humanity had agreed that dying with arms was more beautiful than without arms. [...] All it was about, ultimately, was that we not just let them slaughter us when our turn came. It was only a choice as to the manner of dying.
From ‘Shielding the Flame’, trans. by Joanna Stasinska and Lawrence Weschler
