`The Bravest Battle:' The Most Significant Chapter of All

By MEYER LEVIN

(Copyright 1976, JTA, Inc.)

NEW YORK — In-
explicably, despite the
vast production . of
Holocaust literature in
the past 30-odd years, the
most significant chapter
of all, the Warsaw Ghetto
Revolt, has remained

without a definite study
until now. This is supplied
by Dan Kurzman's new
book, "The Bravest Bat-
tle" (Putnam), and it has
been worth waiting for.
Kurzman has recon-
structed the epic Warsaw
revolt, day by day.
Along with Masada,

Warsaw will stand
forever as the symbol of
Jewish valor, but unlike
Masada, we have the
ghetto fighters' decision,
after they had inflicted
all the damage they could
on the Nazi forces, for the
remnant of resistants to
escape and fight on, with
the forest partisans.
Their leader, Mordecai
Anilevitz, perished in the
last bunker, but from
those who did escape, ac-
counts of the uprising be-
came available.

some were told; frag-

ous languages, in various
books, in scattered publi-
cations, and it remained
for Kurzman to bring all
this together, to seek out
survivors in Europe, Is-
rael and America for
further remembrances,
and to put the full mate-
rial into a tense and il-
luminating narrative. At
times we feel we are
within the experience it-
self.
From Nazi records and
sources, Kurzman inter-
weaves the plans, even the
thoughts of the attacking
General Stroop — his
triumphant discovery that
if he cannot eliminate the
last Jewish fighters in bat-
tle, he can burn them by
setting the blocks pro-
gressively afire.
"The Bravest Battle" is
written as it was fought,
without histrionics, with
concentrated energy,
with a full sense of the
purpose, of the value of an
action that pays out life to
demonstrate the ultimate
courage of humankind.
Dan Kurzman will dis-
cuss his book 1 p.m.
Monday as part of the
Jewish Book Fair at the
main Jewish Community
Center.
