    1919 – May 8, 1943

    Resistance doesn't come easy.

    Status quo is, by definition, stability. Why disturb it?

    Even when things are bad, they can get worse. Why tempt fate?

    The most difficult resistance is one with no chance for success. When one knows they will fail, but one still fights.

    One fights, because the status quo is no longer palatable. Because stability is just an illusion. Because one has to stand up for their people.

    Because fascism should never be tolerated.

    In 1943, the Jews of Warsaw's ghetto resisted. For a month, they fought off the Nazis with little-to-no hope of victory. At the end, 20,000 Jews were dead, and another 36,000 were deported to concentration camps. Among the dead was Mordechai Anielewicz, who, as the head of the Jewish Fighting Organization, led the uprising. He was just 24 years old.

    The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising will forever be remembered as a testament to bravery of the Jewish people.

    Resistance can't be easy.

    Verdict: Jew.
