		She was released through the efforts of the Polish underground and returned to Warsaw. In late 1944, she participated in the Warsaw Uprising. She survived that too. After the war she emigrated to Britain rather than live under the postwar Polish Communist regime.

		The word "zegota" was used as a code name for a group of Polish Catholics who, in the midst of WWII, saved thousands of lives working as an underground railroad for Jews and other assorted outcasts under the tyranny of Nazi Germany.
		The volunteers involved with zegota put themselves at great risk by hiding out the persecuted in their homes, feeding them, clothing them, preparing false papers for them, and scraping up whatever money they could spare to aid in the fight for freedom.
		In a time and a place where decisions are made based not on morality or sanity, but on opportunity costs and selfish daydreams, what zegota did was truly an act of beauty, an act of beauty amidst the horror and absolute terror of the holocaust.

	Warsaw 1943 In Perspective
		Apart from the false claim that the ghetto revolt lasted longer than the 36-day defence of Poland (September 1-October 6, 1939--not to mention the fact that the comparison is ludicrous,) the claim about St. John's Cathedral is particularly malicious given the help that Catholic institutions provided to the insurgents.
		In their convent on 27 Wolska Street, situated near the ghetto walls, help was given to Jews in various ways: this was one of the places where false documents were delivered to the Jews; there, too, liaison men of the Jewish underground (ZOB) on the Aryan side-Arie Wilner, Tuwie Szejngut, and others-had their secret premises.
		The parson was shot dead, the Malickis were sent to Treblinka [actually it was Majdanek] concentration camp and Malicki had his arms and legs broken in an attempt to extort the names of other rescued Jews.

		Zegota, a Greensboro-based band about to depart for an indefinite stay in Sweden, did just that as they played their second-to-last US show last Thursday evening at Gate City Noise on Tate Street.
		Many admitted to thinking that Zegota would be just a generic metal band but the show gave them a pleasant surprise.
		The band, according to longtime fan, junior Nate Rose, is "the best eclectic hardcore band in the Southeast." The group wisely decided to cater their show to the whole audience, playing standard favorites and more mainstream selections.
