  Zuckerman Spaeder -- Recommendations and Resources   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Nathan Zuckerman is a fictional character who has appeared as the narrator or protagonist of (and often functions as an alter ego in) most of Philip Roth's dozen or so works of fiction published since the late 1970s.
Zuckerman makes his first appearance in the novel ''My Life As a Man'', where he is the product of another fictional Roth creation, the writer Peter Tarnopol (making Zuckerman, in his original form, an alter-alter-ego).
Zuckerman is given a less indentured form of existence, though, starting with the 1979 novel ''The Ghost Writer''; here he is the story's writer-apprentice protagonist, on a pilgrimage to cull the wisdom of the reclusive author E. Lonoff (a stand-in for Bernard Malamud).

They were not completely powerless, they had a cache of weapons, they had hearty partisan soldiers from the Ghetto, they were young and spirited, and they had vowed to go down fighting rather than be taken by the Nazis and sent to a concentration camp, to a certain horrible death.
Mordecai Anielewicz and Yitzhak Zuckerman were the young leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
Although they nobly held off the Nazi Stormtroopers for weeks, far longer than anyone envisioned, the result was also as they had expected: all but a few few were killed, the remaining residents of the Warsaw Ghetto were either shot, or deported to the killing centers and executed.

Hence they assumed the responsibility to preserve, and to tell, the story of Polish Jewry in the "days of destruction and revolt." Many accounts were written in that ZOB apartment; Yitzhak Zuckerman, alias "Antek," was the group's life force, devoted to collecting the accounts.
In particular, the early accounts by Zvia Lubetkin - and later those of her husband Yitzhak "Antek" Zukerman and other ZOB members - formed the bedrock testimony on which much of that narrative was based, whether schoolbooks, stage and screen productions, and even the plastic arts.
Indeed, the surviving ZOB fighters who engaged in public activity in Israel, in particular Zuckerman and Lubetkin, were put on a pedestal and in most circles their reliability was considered beyond question.
