"An authentic insight . . . a significant contribution to the literature of the holocaust."-"The Jewish Quarterly" With striking echoes of the intifada in Palestine today, this is the story of the heroic Jewish resistance to Nazism in Poland. As shown in the highly popular movie, "The Pianist," not all Jews were passively led to the trains to carry them to their deaths. A young guerrilla leader in the ghetto, Marek Edelman's account will move and inspire modern day readers. Edelman's own story was the subject of a documentary, which won Best Historical Documentary at the San Francisco International Film Festival, 1994, and portrayed in a telemovie, "Uprising" (2001), starring John Voigt and Donald Sutherland.
