Topic: Zydowski Zwiazek Wojskowy


In the News (Sun 27 Dec 09)

  
  Żydowski Związek Wojskowy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Żydowski Związek Wojskowy (ŻZW, Polish for Jewish Military Union) was an underground organisation operating during World War II in the area of the Warsaw Ghetto and fighting during the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
It was formed primarily of former officers of the Polish Army in late 1939, soon after the start of the German occupation of Poland.
Already during the war the influence and the importance of the Żydowski Związek Wojskowy was being downgraded.

 Jewish Political Studies Review Abstracts - Volume 18, Numbers 1-2 (Spring 5766/2006)
The Warsaw Ghetto uprising remains one of the best-known chapters of the Shoah, and the heroism of the insurgents continues to inspire.
However, scholarly treatment of the Zydowski Zwiazek Wojskowy or Jewish Military Union, which was founded in the ghetto by elements of the Zionist Revisionist Movement, is still incomplete.
Revisionist circles especially have long claimed that the ideological rivals of the ZZW have deliberately prevented its enshrinement in the national pantheon.

The ZZW's three leaders, Pawel Frenkel, David Apfelbaum and Leon Rodal, were killed in the uprising and for many years, the role played by Betar members in the uprising remained in doubt.
Political and ideological considerations were apparently the reason the role played by the ZZW in the uprising was consigned to oblivion.
His book discusses the establishment of the ZZW just weeks after the German army marched into Warsaw, the large-scale deportations in the summer of 1942, the foundation of the ZOB after the deportations, the preparations for the uprising and the uprising itself, during which, maintains Apfelbaum, the ZZW did most of the fighting.

The second part is a guide to the Poznan cemeteries of former AK soldiers.

The enlarged ZOB of October 1942 was virtually a new organisation.
The ZZW got considerable help from an AK officer called Henry Iwanski, and were better armed than the ZOB, though significantly smaller.
When the ghetto Uprising came there were also unaffiliated 'wildcat' fighting groups, some established by criminals or smugglers and many by the ordinary citizens of the ghetto who hadn't joined the ZOB or ZZW.

 The Battles of the Ghettos - Dignity & Defiance
The smaller fighting organization, the ZZW (Zydowski Zwiazek Wojskowy, Polish for Jewish Military Union), which also took part in the Warsaw ghetto revolt and was founded by members of the Betar movement (the activist Zionist youth movement), was organized only at the end of that year (1942).
The Jews who were sealed off in the ghetto did not have the means, the links, and the experience to build an armed force that would be ready for battle.
The rest of the civilian population had taken refuge in the bunkers and assisted the fighters in whatever way possible.

Another resistance organization, the Jewish Fighting Union Zydowski Zwiazek Wojskowy; ZZW was formed (“Warsaw Ghetto Uprising”).
The ZOB was seen by the Jewish people in Warsaw as a way of survival and group that could help them stay alive.
The Germans were prepared to face a resistance but I think that the ZOB and ZZW were more powerful than they had expected.

Most of the Jewish population in the ghetto went underground, hiding in bunkers built earlier.
