Abstract:
Examines the organization of resistance activities in the Warsaw ghetto. Plans for armed resistance were made in 1942, when the Germans' intent to exterminate the Jews became clear. All the political parties and youth movements, except for the Revisionists and Betar, joined the Jewish Fighting Organization (ŻOB); the Revisionists and Betar founded the Jewish Military Organization (ŻZW) shortly before the second mass deportation and the ghetto uprising. The Polish resistance took no interest in events in the ghetto until the ŻOB's first armed action, which they appreciated; they then provided some (scant) arms. The ŻZW's Polish contacts provided it with somewhat heavier arms. In the first days of the uprising, both organizations attacked the German troops and forced them to retreat; in the following weeks, fighting was from bunker to bunker. Whereas some of the ŻOB's leaders escaped, none of the ŻZW's leaders survived and therefore little is known about them. Emphasizes that they must be recognized for their important contribution, but contests the allegations of Moshe Arens that the ŻZW was the first to organize and that the battle they fought was the dominant one in the uprising.
