Page 36 - Centrum Dialogu im. Marka Edelmana. Edelman. The Man

‘I read in various accounts that people
who were corralled to Umschlagplatz
were screaming and crying. It isn’t

true. Umschlagplatz was silent as
a grave. From time to time, a child

would cry. The carts driving people to
Umschlagplatz were also completely
silent. Deadly silence. And that was the

dignity. Dignity, which frightened the
Germans’.

Marek
Edelman

The JCO fighters used the time after the Great Action
to prepare themselves for armed resistance. They were
supported by the civilian inhabitants of the ghetto. They
gathered weapons, built bunkers, developed strategies and
went through military training.
