Sad to hear of the death of Marek Edelman leader of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
"The Ghetto Fights", his account of how in April 1943 a few hundred young Jews decided to take up arms against the occupying Nazis, choosing to fight rather than face death in the "Final Solution", is a truly remarkable story of courage against impossible odds.
Whenever, people ask the question "Why didn't the Jews fight back?" tell them to read this book.
The world has lost a truly remarkable man.
