Today marks the 45th anniversary of the death of Cywia Lubetkin - the heroine of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Warsaw Uprising.
Cywia Lubetkin was born in 1914 in Byteń near Słonim, where she grew up. From 1938 she lived in Warsaw, where she was involved in the activities of the socialist youth organization Dror. After the outbreak of World War II, she made her way from Warsaw to Kowel, which was occupied by the Soviet army, but at the beginning of 1940, at the behest of an organization that lacked proven leaders, she returned to Warsaw.
She was a co-founder of the Anti-Fascist Block, created in the Warsaw Ghetto in the spring of 1942, and a co-organizer of the Jewish Combat Organization, whose shape and policy she had a significant impact on. It was a member of the Jewish National Committee and the Jewish Coordination Commission - an organization associating all groups of the Jewish underground.
She participated in the January self-defense - the first act of armed resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto in January 1943 - and then in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. For some time she hid in a bunker at ul. Miła 18, and then she got through the sewers to the "Aryan side". She fought in the Warsaw Uprising in a unit of the People's Army.
After the war, she was active in the Zionist Coordination (Bricha), organizing trips of Jews from Poland, in 1946 she participated in the Zionist Congress and in the same year herself - together with her husband Icchak Cukierman - she lived in Palestine. She was a witness in the trial of Adolf Eichmann in 1961. Involved in the kibbutz movement, she was a co-founder and resident of the Lochamej ha-Getaot (Ghetto Fighters) kibbutz, where she died on July 10, 1978.

" Tell me the legends of long ago
When the kings and queens would dance
In the realm of the Black Rose
Play me the melodies I want to know
So I can teach my children, oh "
