: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.
:16:02
I did smuggle into the ghetto
all kinds of things.
:16:07
Sometimes dynamite.
:16:10
It was not easy, especially for me.
:16:13
I didn't have any idea how a revolver
looked or how dynamite looked.
:16:18
Even to get in contact
with Polish people was not easy.
:16:23
The Poles were reluctant
to help out. . .
:16:26
. . .because they were
pretty anti-Semitic. . .
:16:30
. . .because they didn't have
a lot of weapons to spare. . .
:16:33
. . .and they didn't know
that Jews could fight effectively.
:16:37
I remember the first revolver I bought
from a smuggler.
:16:42
I didn't have any idea
how it's supposed to work. . .
:16:47
. . .if it's good or if it's bad.
:16:49
It turned out to be okay.
:16:52
I paid a large amount of money.
:16:55
The underground issued weapons to us
from their arsenals. . .
:16:59
. . .which were very modest.
It was a small thing.
