Summary

[edit]
Description
English: One of the things that this memorial helped me realize (reinforce) is that the Jewish people did not just sit there and allow things to happen to them, they fought hard to the end.

Mordechai Anielewicz stands in the center of the figures to ignite the spirit of rebellion with a hand grenade he clutches in his left hand.

Mordechaj (Mordecai) Anielewicz (1919-1943) was the commander of the Jewish Fighting Organization, during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising from January to May 1943.

In early 1944 Anielewicz was posthumously awarded the Virtuti Militari, the highest Polish military decoration, by the Polish government in exile.

Kibbutz Yad Mordechai in Israel is named after him, and a monument has been erected there in his memory.
