04/13/2002 Entry: "Three Babies Named Jenin"

The 59th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is this coming Friday.

Some aspects of the Warsaw uprising were common to all ghetto insurrections. Resistance came at the end, when all hope for survival was abandoned ... The fighters knew they were bound to lose. There was no longer a choice between life and death, but at stake was the honor of the Jewish people. The choice was to die fighting and to inflict casualties on the enemy.

On a completely unrelated note, three babies have been named Jenin over the past couple days.
