: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.
:17:03
55 guns, 50 grenades,
1 0 or 1 5 kilos of powder.
:17:08
Out of this sprang to life
the Jewish fighting organization.
:17:12
On January 1 8, 1943,
German patrols enter the ghetto...
:17:18
... to begin more deportations.
:17:21
For the first time, they are met
by armed Jewish resistance.
:17:26
The first day they came in. . .
:17:29
. . .and they still thought
they were going to do like usual. . .
:17:34
. . .come in, like to a parade.
:17:37
It turns out that it isn't a parade.
:17:40
This was the first resistance
in Poland, one has to say.
:17:44
Military, organized resistance.
:17:47
Not the killing of one person,
some informer or stool pigeon. . .
:17:51
. . .but military resistance.
:17:53
The word you keep hearing
in every one of the memoirs. . .
:17:58
. . .is that enormous act of dignity.
