March of the Living 🎗️ @MOTLorg · May 16 82 years ago today, the heroic Warsaw Ghetto Uprising came to an end. For nearly a month, some 700 members of the underground resisted the Nazis, an enduring symbol of Jewish defiance. Aliza Vitis-Shomron was just 13 when she joined the underground as a courier in the ghetto: “I took part in educational activities, spread news through the underground, and distributed letters received from forced laborers. When the deportations to Treblinka began, I distributed leaflets calling for resistance to the deportations. The punishment for my activities was death.” As the uprising approached, Mordechai Anielewicz and Mira Fuchrer asked her to leave the ghetto. “Mira told me: You need to stay alive and tell the story of the Warsaw Ghetto. That was the will she left me – and I am fulfilling it.” Aliza was smuggled out, later deported to Bergen-Belsen, and ultimately survived. After the war, she fulfilled the Zionist dream and immigrated to Israel. This year, she marched at the March of the Living in Poland, with four generations of her family. "For me, this is the victory. I proved to myself, to the world, and to the Germans that we survived the inferno, the valley of death, and succeeded in building a glorious family for the glory of the State of Israel.”
