WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Marek Edelman, the last surviving leader of WWII Warsaw Ghetto uprising, died Friday in Warsaw at the age of 90.
Paula Sawicka told The Associated Press that Edelman died at her family's home at 2 p.m. EDT (1800GMT) of old age.
"He died at home, among friends, among his close people," Sawicka said.

Never forget.
The whole reason we have the Second Amendment is so that we have the means to fight our own government, trading up our personal weaponry for military-grade hardware as the opportunity presents itself.
Edelman knew the score.
“Mila 18” is also pretty good.
Thanks for posting it, ‘Rabs. Yer one o’ the good ones, brother.
God bless his soul, and grant a worthy warrior a Home in Heaven. We’re short on folks like him nowadays...
NEVER FORGET - AND NEVER AGAIN...

"He who saves one life, saves the World entire."
Mr. Edelman is in a much nicer place than that piece of filth who is aiming a gun at a 5year old child (referring to the posted picture).
Never again.
I know I have a heart, because it BREAKS every time one of these gentlemen passes away.
I’m involved with many WWII veterans, and it kills a piece of me as well, every time...Like the best and most decent part of us is leaving.
And it fills me with an anger as well - as what they fought and bled for is being eroded and deliberately ripped apart.
Ya’ll know the rest, brother. I’ll save the vitriol for a later time. I’m sure we’ll get PLENTY of opportunity to vent it.
What did Yamamoto say? “I fear that all we have done is awaken a sleeping giant, and filled him with a terrible resolve...”
..and of course, our P-38s blew him out of the sky over Bouganville not quite a year later, after Pearl Harbor...
Yeah...we’re AMERICANS. We’re like that.
Make that Ms.
One less hero in the world today.
It was Mr., but I could see the confusion:
“Paula Sawicka told The Associated Press that Edelman died at her family’s home at 2 p.m. EDT (1800GMT) of old age. “
The “her” referred to Paula.

Thank you! I’m so jet-lagged. Just got back from Frankfurt yesterday. (I thought Marek was a man’s name!)
That Book completely and profoundly changed my life.
It personalized "evil" in my mind. A concept I rarely thought about at the time
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Stalin ordered his partisans to liquidate all self-identified “Jewish Partisans,” because he thought they would complicate the post-war situation. He was a regular piece of work.
Never, never give up.
