Be well, my friend! Perhaps we will see one another again. The most important thing is that my life's dream has come true. Jewish self-defense in the ghetto has been realized. Jewish retaliation and resistance have become a fact.I have been witness to the magnificent heroic battle of the Jewish fighters.
Emmanuel Ringelblum, the Warsaw Ghetto archivist, wrote several biographical sketches of some of the leading personalities of the Warsaw Ghetto, including the following about Mordechai Aneilewicz:
Mordechai threw himself into the defense activity with all his zeal. Together with other groups and parties the Fighters' Organization was created, at whose head the coordinating commission of the political organization placed Comrade Mordechai. ...Mordechai was the soul of the organization, one of its most devoted workers.
