Marek Edelman. Being on the Right Side: Everyone in the Ghetto was a Hero

Witold Bereś

4.9/5 (30672 ratings)

Description:The first biography of Marek Edelman (1919-2009): one of the commanders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, renowned physician, and defender of human rights. Zbigniew Brzezinski has written about Edelman to the authors: ‘A Jewish fighter and Polish soldier during the World War 2. A leftist who never believed in communism. A critic of Israel who refused to recognize the Palestinians' resistance movement until they relinquished terrorism. A doctor who saved human lives with pioneering heart surgeries. An activist of Solidarity, arrested under the rules of the martial law in Poland. A hero’. The authors, active in the democratic opposition under communism, interviewed Edelman for the first time on behalf of an illegal paper they published clandestinely. From that moment on, meetings with Edelman became a part of their lives. They ended up devoting no fewer than three books to Edelman. Each one was a bestseller in Poland, and translations were published in Israel, Germany, and Russia. The English-language version of this biography is based on all three of these books and many conversations with Edelman. I am incapable of writing about those times without poignancy and exclamation points. Edelman dismissed emotionality with a wave of his hand. “Don't keep going on and on about it,” he tells Bereś and Burnetko. “Nobody can understand it anyway.” So I won't go on and on about it either. This is a book that must be read. Prof. IRENA GRUDZIŃSKA-GROSS, Princeton University Marek Edelman was my commander during the uprising in the ghetto and a great friend of mine. He was not an easy man to get along with and we did not agree on everything, but he was an honest, brave man. I am happy that there are Poles who attach importance to remembering our struggle and Edelman himself. SYMCHA ROTEM, the last living soldier from the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, Jerusalem 2016 “Marek Edelman: Being on the Right Side”, part biography, part extended interview, offers a rare insight into the mind of a complex man whose life was marked by both Nazism and Communism. A hero of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, a political activist, a cardiologist, and most of all a humanist, Edelman never shies from speaking his mind on what matters to him the most: the plight of another human being in need. An important book! EVA STACHNIAK, novelist, the author of the international bestseller “The Winter Palace” This biography which tells the incredible life-story of that hero of our times, is a must-read, and should be taught in schools worldwide.
