On April 19, 1943, as the German troops entered the ghetto, the commanders of the ZZW (Jewish Military Union), Pawel Frenkel and his deputy Leon Rodal, were at ZZW headquarters on Muranowska 7. They decided to hoist the Zionist flag on the roof of the tallest building in the area, Muranowska 17. Poles standing on the roof of the building at Muranowska 6, outside the ghetto wall, discerned people holding weapons moving around the roofs of the houses of the ghetto opposite, disappearing and reappearing again. Suddenly they saw a blue-and-white flag had been raised on one of the roofs. A shout went up: "Look, look, the Jewish flag! Muranowski Square is in the hands of the Jews!"

*whispers* i wish they could've said something abt the warsaw ghetto uprising bc that's really important in terms of jews actively working to save themselves/control their narrative/choosing how they die instead of just showing the nazis burning it

And should it happen that you, of the two of us, will survive… and sometime, someplace, you were to meet my comrades, please tell them what I said, tell them for not a moment did I doubt that Hitler’s Germany would be defeated, not I, nor my comrades…. that we are fighting for our people and shall die for them. That we believe that a Jewish State will arise in a struggle with our enemies there in that distant land…
