Summary/Abstract: Mordechai Anielewicz is known as the leader of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. However, a re-examination of documents and testimonies raises significant questions about Anielewicz’s role and authority in the Jewish Fighting Organization. Based on a careful reading of these sources, the author of the article places Anielewicz in a broad historical context and sheds light on the methods of the ŻOB both before and during the uprising, thus enabling a renewed and indepth assessment of Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto.
