The one remarkable thing about the Warsaw ghetto uprising is the fact that the Ghetto Jews who took part in it had nothing more sophisticated that a simple hand gun to use against the Nazis. They had limited ammunition but unlimited courage. They lasted about twice as long as the entire French Army of 1940. This amazing story of the Warsaw Ghetto can not be told often enough as far as I am concerned.
It is also high time that these heroes whose memory was suppressed by the Communist regime are finally recognized and honored. A few years ago, the German President when visiting Warsaw was amazed to learn of the 1944 Uprising; he had heard only of the 1943 Ghetto Uprising. The 1944 survivors are fast dying out, and Norman Davies has captured their story.
