A propos de cet article

May, 1944. 1st edition. Original stapled printed paper cover, 4to, [2] + 25 pages. In Yiddish. Title translates as, "In Memoriam. On the Anniversary of the Uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto, April-May 1943. First Anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, published in Europe during the Holocaust by Jewish "Poale Tziyon Left" members in Switzerland. The organization's name, which means "Workers of Zion," is sometimes also romanized as "Poale Zion" or "Poaley Syjon." The imprint, "Undzer Vort" ("Our Word"), was a Left Poale Tziyon publisher in Switzerland which also published a mimeograph newspaper titled "Undzer Vort" (OCLC: 232675203) during this same period. A fully underground version of the paper was also published in Nazi-Occupied Belgium (see below). Indeed Poale Tsiyon Left was an important part of Jewish resistance throughout Europe, most notably during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which this publication commemorates. "The Holocaust-era Jewish resistance group ZOB was formed from a coalition including Hashomer Hatzair, Dror, Bnei Akiva, the Jewish Bund, various Jewish Communist groups, and both factions of Poale Zion. Poale Zion was also active in the Anti-Fascist Bloc. Several notable Jewish resistance fighters during the Holocaust, particularly those involved in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, were members of Poale Zion. They include: Adolf Berman, Warsaw ZOB fighter; Secretary of Zegota (Poale Zion Left) Hersz Berlinski, member of Warsaw ZOB Command (Poale Zion Left) Yochanan Morgenstern, member of Warsaw ZOB Command (Poale Zion Right) Emanuel Ringelblum, member of Warsaw ZOB; chronicler of the Warsaw Ghetto (Poale Zion Left)" (Wikipedia). The booklet opens with the moving story of the start of the uprising: "It has been a year since the glorious uprising of the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto. April 19, 1943 - barely a few tens of thousands of Jews left in Warsaw, after about half a million of their brothers and sisters were exterminated in the most gruesome way, they rose up with organized resistance against the renewed attempts.that they too, like the previous ones, would be led out like sheep to the slaughter. Forty thousand Jews, weapons in hand, opposed an enemy tenfold, a hundred hundred times outnumbered.Women, men and children, the high class and the humble. From the beginning, they all knew without exception, that they would be defeated, that the outcome was not in doubt and that the enemy intended nothing but destruction for all of them. But no Nazi expected to fall on such a battlefield. And his was the biggest slap in the face, which the proud Nazis.so hated when it was received from these, these trampled down, these unrefined, these scorned, these despised Jewish 'untermenchen'" (Translated from the opening paragraphs on page 1). The publication later continues with a damnation of the "democracies" who did so little and a holding up of the comrades of Poale Tziyon who are doing so much, fighting on all fronts: "The 'world democracies' didn't do anything.to save the Jewish victims and to stop the misery train, they issued platonic statements about punishing the 'crimes' after the massacre. The warnings have so far helped little. The.Sacrifices keep growing.The world that is fighting 'for justice' and that is busy with courts after the massacre has not found any means to rescue the few escaped heroes in the ghetto for a whole year. This long eulogy is for dozens and hundreds of comrades, who fell as loyal children of the nation and fighters for its working class on the fronts, in the distant.north, in the camps of France and Belgium. who went from one end of the world to the other - at their wounds, and from hundreds of thousands of others - comrades of the Poale-Tziyon movement." (page 24). Poale Zion.was a movement of Marxist-Zionist Jewish workers founded in various cities of Poland, Europe and the Russian Empire at about the turn of the 20th century after the Bund rejected Zionism in 1901. Poale Zion was torn betwee.
