From THE JERUSALEM POST, Apr. 8, 2008, by Greer Fay Cashman:
CORRECTING AN historical omission next week will be Prof. Moshe Arens, who will be in Poland for the 65th anniversary of the of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Most of the historical material related to the uprising documents the heroism of Mordechai Anielewicz and members of left-wing Jewish organizations, but makes little or no reference to the heroism of right-wing individuals and movements.
So while Peres, who will also be in Poland next week - both on a state visit and for the commemoration - goes to Mila Street to pay tribute to Anielewicz and those who fought with him, Arens and a delegation of Betar and the Irgun Zvai Leumi (Etzel) will go to Muranowska Square, to what was once the headquarters of the Revisionist led Jewish Military Unit Zydowski Zwiazek Wojskowy, generally known as the ZZW, to unveil a plaque to the long unsung heroes of the right. Arens has done intensive research on the ZZW. The outcome has been numerous articles and a book which have righted an historical wrong....
Also see JIW posting of 25/4/06 on this subject and Jerusalem Post article of Apr 20, 2006 by ABRAHAM RABINOVICH entitled "The first casualty in war" for a detailed account of the Uprising.
