JPLO Note: Excellent. The history of my family's resistance and escape from the Warsaw and Lublin ghettos has never received recognition. Although the taped audio interviews with my parents in Yiddish are deposited with the Washington Holocaust Memorial Museum, they have still not been translated into English.
So here it is; my mother's brother Myer Goldseider, escaped from the Warsaw ghetto in 1940 and set up camp in the Russian forest across the border. The message my mother Cyrla Goldseider received from him provided the directions on how to join him there. After escaping by passing as a Polish Christian she returned to the ghetto with similar messages for others and escaped again with her younger sister. Her mother refused to leave Poland, her homeland, and because there was no kosher food to eat in the USSR. In 1941 Myer set up a Bundist Partisan unit until he was conscripted into the Red Army, where he was lost. My father did the same by escaping from the Lublin ghetto but on his own. He returned as well and got his younger brother out who had actually joined the Jewish police of the ghetto. And, there are many more incidents to tell.

Of all the legions of Holocaust tales, what had happened to this one? I first encountered this phenomenon several years ago, when I accidentally came across a collection of Yiddish writing by and about young Polish-Jewish women who rebelled against the Nazis. These “ghetto girls” paid off Gestapo guards, hid revolvers in marmalade jars, and built underground bunkers. They flung homemade explosives and blew up German trains. I was stunned. Why had I – a Jewish writer from a survivor family, not to mention a trained historian who held a Ph.D. in feminist art — never heard this side of the story? https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/179779 -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
