Jewish Martyrdom

al of Jewish martyrdom during
the uprising of the Warsaw
Ghetto was given by Gen. Tad-
eusz Komorowski, who under the
pseudonym of "Bor" led the
Warsaw revolt of last summer.
The Polish 'telegraph Agency,
in a dispatch from London quot-
ed Geh. Bor as saying:
"I, myself, saw Jewish women
with children . in their arms
throw themselves into the flames
rather than e taken by the Ger-
mans."
The Jews fought to the last,
General Bor added.
•"I can only speak with the
- greatest admiration for the fight-
ers of the Ghetto."
General Bor revealed that at
one time he had been - arrested
as a- Jew. He said that though
he had been given no knowledge
as to when - - the Ghetto rising
would take place, the Poles or-
ganized whatever help they could
when it began. During the Po-
lish revolt last summer, hun-
dreds of Jews of Polish and oth-
er nationalities fought in the Po-
lish ranks, he said, after being
freed by the underground from
Nazi prisons in Warsaw,
