"It lasted for three weeks, so this great German army could not cope so easily with those 220 boys and girls," he said with a grain of pride. Nice!

The men and women who took part in the Warsaw Ghetto revolt define the very essence of courage. Their revolt was one of the most valient actions of the few against the many. And it was the spirit of that revolt which helped to inspire the Jews after the war to found the state of Israel and stand up and fight their oppressors.

On April 19, 1943, German troops started to liquidate the ghetto by sending tens of thousands of its residents to death camps. As I recall the story, the liquidation started several months earlier; the uprising started on April 19.

God Bless and Protect Marek Edelman. He is also an outspoken supporter of the War on Terror and Liberation of Iraq from Saddam Hussein. He knows what he is talking about.

I am an American (3rd generation) of Jewish origins. Whenever I am up against a liberal coreligionist who is pro gun control, I just cite the Warsaw Uprising and ask them how this heroic chapter from WWII could have happened without a few Polish rifles and some handguns.
They sound like Obama trying to explain his remarks about the "bitter" small towners in Pennsylvania. Homina-homina-homina...
