Mordecai Anilewitz, commander of the Warsaw Ghetto revolt, issued the following last appeal for help to the outside world of April 23, 1943, shortly before the destruction of the Ghetto:
"I cannot describe to you the conditions in which the Jews of the Ghetto now live. Only a few could possibly withstand such suffering. The rest will die, sooner or later. Their fate is sealed. For, although thousands are hiding in nooks and rat-holes, there is not enough air in those places to light a candle. You - who are on the outside are blessed. Perhaps we shall yet see each other by some miracle. This is very, very doubtful. The last aspiration of my life has been fulfilled. Jewish fighting and resistance is a fact. Jewish self-defence and Jewish revenge are a reality. I am happy and contented that I have been among the first fighters of the Ghetto. Whence will salvation come?"
