The book is meant to set the record straight about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the role of the Revisionist Jewish Military Organization (ZZW) led by its commander, Pawel Frenkel.
Arens argues that the mainstream histories of the valiant ghetto defenders focus on Mordechai Anielewicz, the commander of the Zionist Jewish Fighting Organization (ZOB), and the Jewish Socialist Bund as the primary leaders of the resistance to the Nazi plan to deport the remnant of the ghetto Jews to the Treblinka death camp.
Arens traces the bitter ideological differences between Ze’ev Jabotinsky, the founder of the Revisionists (the forerunner of today’s Likud), and the World Zionist Organization, differences which prevented these armed networks from working together to face their common enemy as the Nazis commenced deporting some 365,000 ghetto Jews to Treblinka.
The result was that the surviving members of ZOB who fought the Nazis refused to acknowledge the role of its rival organization and excluded them from memoirs and books that recount the fight against Nazis in Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
People appreciate when the record is set straight. This reviewer is recommending this book and rates the book with 4 1/2 out of 5 stars.… (plus d'informations)
