hello you are listening to 98.3 and today we are interviewing merek edleman lets get started
why did you start fighting for the jews
why did you become a hospital messenger
I became a hospital messenger to recruit fighters but now looking back i almost got caught and killed to many times.
although we knew that we would never when we still fought to protect the peoplein the ghetto to extend their life by a day or two
when did you start to fight for the jews
how did you feel when the nazis said they where deporting jews for resettlement.
we started on january 18th 1943 me and the troops disguised are se.ves as deportees and open fired on the nazis that was scary but i knew it had to be done for the rest of us jews to surivive
I knew they where lying when they said that Nazis are a group of hateful people expscally towards jews i knew theymwhere lying and they rally ment thekilling us.
Why do you want to spread your word to people
was it dificult to form a jewish defence group with nazis luking around
the reason I wanted to spread more word through speeches and interviews because i want these generation to know how it felt and them to avoid it from happing again and also to persuade younger viewers to stand up for what you believe in.
yes it was very difficult if i was caulght i would be shot on sight but i was careful and cautions of who i recruited and i survived
