The
Warsaw Ghetto Uprising has become a symbol of heroism throughout the world.
On
the eve of Passover, April 19, 1943, German forces entered the Warsaw ghetto
equipped with tanks, flame throwers, and machine guns. Against them stood an
army of a few hundred young Jewish men and women, armed with pistols and
Molotov cocktails.
Who
were these Jewish fighters who dared oppose the armed might of the SS troops
under the command of SS General Juergen Stroop? Who commanded them in
battle? What were their goals?
In
this groundbreaking work, Flags over the Warsaw Ghetto, Professor
Arens recounts a true tale of daring, courage, and sacrifice that should be
accurately told – out of respect for and in homage to the fighters who rose
against the German attempt to liquidate the Warsaw ghetto, and who made a
last-ditch fight for the honor of the Jewish people.
