Sirens wailed, church bells rang and the presidents of Germany, Israel and Poland bowed their heads Wednesday before a memorial to Jewish insurgents who fought a mismatched, desperate battle against Nazi German forces in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Celebrations of the uprisingâ€™s 80th anniversary honored the hundreds of young Jews who took up arms in the Polish capital in 1943, choosing to fight and die at a time and place not dictated by the Nazis â€¦ â€œI stand before you today and ask for forgiveness,â€ German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said at the site of the former ghetto.

Like many Holocaust survivors, Iâ€™ve always felt uncomfortable about the way the memory of the Holocaust has been shaped. The myth of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is an excellent example. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising â€“ the very name is deceptive. The Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto never revolted ... Only a small group of young people revolted, whose size and efforts were inflated to mythic proportions in Israel after the state was established in 1948. More importantly, the uprising, which started on April 19, 1943, contradicted the survival strategy of the masses of Jews who remained in the ghetto ... The figures on the length of the real fighting were also inflated.

Young women fighters rounded up during the 1943 German action against the Warsaw ghetto are shown in this widely-reproduced photograph. Like the famous â€œghetto boyâ€ photo, this was included in the 1943 â€œStroop report.â€ The original caption read: â€œWomen of the He-halutz movement, captured with weapons.â€ â€¦ The young woman at the right is Malka Zdrojewicz. Years later, she recalled the circumstance behind the taking of this photograph.
