Reading the Jewish Women Fighters’ heroism in the WWII and then looking at the news on Gaza

When I began to read The Light of Days: The Untold Story of Women Resistance Fighters in Hitler’s Ghettos by Judy Batalion, the Hamas attack and the subsequent massacres in Gaza by Israel hadn’t happened yet. Right now I am reading how Jewish women fighters led the resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and how they used tunnels in some cases to escape or to regroup to attack Nazis. Then I look at the news and how tunnels are now used. Life has so many ironies, mostly tragical.

  1. The Warsaw tunnels were sewer systems, no? Not purpose-built. Or did the Warsaw ghetto folks manage to create tunnels?
