Boruch Spiegel, one of the last surviving fighters of the Warsaw ghetto uprising of 1943, in which a vastly outgunned band of 750 young Jews held off German soldiers for more than a month with crude arms and Molotov cocktails, died on May 9 in Montreal. He was 93.

A hero when heroes were needed. Nowadays he’d be seen by the Gun Control groups as insurrectionist and a threat against the government……wait…. he was an insurrectionist and a threat against the government back then.
Shalom Mr. Spiegel. Your lessons were not lost.
Where have all the Hero’s gone.
Rest well, Mr. Spiegel, we’ve picked up your torch.
