Excellent eye witness accounts can be found in *The Ghetto Fighters*, translated and edited by Meyer Barkai, LCCN 62-11331.
*The Ghetto Fighters* is an edited and translated version of *Seifer Milchamot Hagetaot*, edited by Izhak Zuckerman and Moshe Basak, published in Hebrew in Tel Aviv, Israel, by the Ghetto Fighters' House and Kibbutz Hameuchad.
It's a great book. Check it out. These were totally admirable people. They were brave, clever and resourceful fighters, fighting for a just cause. They were, in short, the Hamas and Hizbullah of their people and their day.
Do any of the apologists for Zionist aggression against the ghettos of Gaza and the West Bank also fault the Warsaw Ghetto fighters for "hiding among civilians"? Where? Let's see a reference.
Partisans killed civilians, too:
"One farmer from Deshef delivered a Jew to the Germans. His house was set on fir, and he was taken out and killed. His body was put on display alongside a road that crossed through fields and a note was pinned to it, "He was shot for delivering a Jew."
-- p 153

"Groups went out at night and searched out village presidents who were collaborating with the Germans We killed about six of them."
-- p 173
* * * * *
The whole family was in one large room, in beds lined up along the walls.
(snip)
When we had destroyed the house and everyone there was dead, I said, "So shall be done to every man that Hitler wants to honor." I recalled a similar decree in the Bible in the Scroll of Esther
I wrote a notice in Russian: "This family was destroyed for collaborating with Germans and for apprehending Jews."
-- pps 179-180

etc.
These were all just acts. Death to all racist aggressors and all their collaborators. |
