:17:03
55 guns, 50 grenades,
1 0 or 1 5 kilos of powder.
:17:08
Out of this sprang to life
the Jewish fighting organization.
:17:12
On January 1 8, 1943,
German patrols enter the ghetto...
:17:18
... to begin more deportations.
:17:21
For the first time, they are met
by armed Jewish resistance.
:17:26
The first day they came in. . .
:17:29
. . .and they still thought
they were going to do like usual. . .
:17:34
. . .come in, like to a parade.
:17:37
It turns out that it isn't a parade.
:17:40
This was the first resistance
in Poland, one has to say.
:17:44
Military, organized resistance.
:17:47
Not the killing of one person,
some informer or stool pigeon. . .
:17:51
. . .but military resistance.
:17:53
The word you keep hearing
in every one of the memoirs. . .
:17:58
. . .is that enormous act of dignity.
:18:02
''We have forced the supermen to flee. ''
:18:07
''They are running for their lives. ''
:18:10
There was a pistol in his hand
and he used it for the first time. . .
:18:15
. . .and realized
that the Germans were human.
:18:19
They could be killed.
:18:20
So from that time on. . .
:18:23
. . .the atmosphere in the ghetto
changed.
:18:26
And I would say that the uprising. . .
:18:31
. . .and the role of the
Jewish fighters' organization. . .
:18:35
. . .in the Warsaw ghetto. . .
:18:38
. . .was succeeding only because
they had the cooperation. . .
:18:43
. . .of the remnant of the
Jewish population in the ghetto.
:18:48
The resistance knows victory
is temporary...
:18:52
... that the Germans will return.
:18:54
They do their best to prepare
for the next assault.
:18:59
Under the direction of General
Jürgen Stroop it begins in force.
