We'll put a stop to this, yes?
:04:05
What moved me when I learned
about the story. . .

:04:09
. . .was that these people
fought for honor.

:04:13
I felt it was so devoid
from most of our lives.

:04:16
Recently with the tragedy
at the World Trade Center. . .

:04:21
. . .you saw people there behave
with great honor and great valor.

:04:26
From the firefighters, to policemen,
to ordinary citizens.

:04:30
Part of what's coming out of the ashes,
if there is a phoenix rising out. . .

:04:36
. . .it's a sense of sacrifice and of
recognition of honor on all levels.

:04:42
From the most mundane,
to the most obviously heroic.

:04:46
That moved me, that these kids decided
to fight knowing they would die.

:04:53
Once they organized and decided,
''We're going to fight to the death'' . . .

:04:58
. . .they never thought any of them
would live. They thought. . .

:05:01
. . .they'd go out with a bang.
:05:03
Mordechai said there's
one thing we can control. . .

:05:07
. . .in this terrible Nazi situation,
and that's how we die.

:05:11
And so their deaths were all they had.
And how to use it. . .

:05:17
. . .was all they had.
:05:18
The spirit of our deaths. . . .
:05:24
The spirit of our deaths. . .
:05:26
. . .will shape the soul
of a new generation.

:05:31
A new nation of Jews.
:05:33
They held them out of
the Ghetto for over a month. . .

:05:37
. . .for quite a while.
Some fought for a very long time.

:05:41
What's incredible is that
this young Jewish youth. . .

:05:46
. . .fought the German army, the Nazis,
longer than the entire Polish army did.

:05:53
And if other Jews are emboldened. . .
:05:56
. . .if other sectors initiate uprisings,
it spreads to the Poles--?
