Tracing the moments before and during the uprising up to Mordechai's death in 1943, Hausfater delivers an uncompromising story of a revolutionary with a lesson all readers must take with them. Both disturbing and moving, thrilling and devastating, Anielewicz's story elucidates the immense power of resistance and the obligations we have to defend each other from violence and capture--no matter the costs. As Anielewicz himself puts it, \"The opposite of despair is not hope, it's struggle.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInquisitive and often on the road and a traveller, \u003cb\u003eRachel Hausfater\u003c\/b\u003e lived in Germany, the United States, and Israel plying various trades.
