Marek Edelman, the only living commander of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, speaks during an interview with The Associated Press, in Lodz, Poland, in this Feb. 6, 2008 file photo. Edelman is reluctant to recall details of the three weeks he and some 220 other young Jews spent fighting the Germans, who had begun liquidating the ghetto, sending the remaining tens of thousands of residents to death camps.

"It lasted for three weeks, so this great German army could not cope so easily with those 220 boys and girls," he said with a grain of pride.
