:14:00
Instead of going
to the concentration camp. . .
:14:05
. . .and be put in the gas chambers. . .
:14:11
. . .the way to do it, how to die,
is to fight.
:14:17
For me, the fighting organization
was a difficult job. . .
:14:21
. . .because it included all parties.
:14:23
Zionists of one sort,
Zionists of another sort.
:14:28
Religious Jews, Bund, communists.
:14:33
There was so many factions
of resistance groups. . .
:14:37
. . .that organizing them
was impossible.
:14:40
Only when deportation started
did they decide to work together. . .
:14:45
. . .because they understood
the gravity of the situation.
:14:49
The resistance had to then overthrow
the order of the Jewish councils.
:14:54
It had to get rid of traitors
within their midst.
:14:57
The first resistance attacks
were on the Jewish police.
:15:01
What remained
was to stand and fight. . .
:15:05
. . .with whatever resources
one could muster.
:15:08
It is better to die being hit
by a bullet than in a gas chamber.
:15:14
And that was my decision.
:15:17
To remain there, stay there. . .
:15:25
. . .and take it as it will be.
:15:30
If you're talking about armed
resistance, what do you resist with?
:15:35
It was almost impossible
to get weapons.
:15:38
In order for them to acquire arms,
it was such a complex process.
:15:43
It wasn't, ''We'll fight back. ''
They had no weapons.
:15:47
They had to create a whole network
outside of the ghetto. . .
:15:51
. . .with couriers
who'd pass as Aryans. . .
:15:54
. . .in order to hopefully buy weapons
from German soldiers, from Poles. . .
:15:59
. . .and get limited support
from the underground.
