Mordechai Anielewicz helped initiate the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the single largest Jewish armed resistance against the Nazis during the Holocaust. Anielewicz was born in 1919 into a poor family living in Warsaw. In early 1940 he was a full time underground activist, setting up youth groups and underground newspapers. In 1941, Anielewicz began concentrating on transforming the underground youth movements into an armed resistance movement. He also began creating self-defense organizations in the ghetto. When the street fight ended he moved to the headquarters shelter to Mila 18 Street. On May 8, Anielewicz was killed by gas in the headquarters bunker together with a few other members. Mordechia Anielewicz was a resister because of his armed resistance. I thought he was doing the right thing by causing violence in Warsaw to show that the Jewish people of Warsaw were not just going to let the Germans do what the want.
