“The incredible vitality of Warsaw’s Jews is in vain. They cry out and defend themselves to the end, to the last hour and minute, but this hour and minute will come.” The author of those lines was Rokhl Auerbach, who had spent 2 ½ years in the ghetto but managed to escape it a month before the doomed April 1943 uprising.
