I just finished Resistance by Israel Gutman, the story of the Warsaw Uprising, and it fucked me uuuuup. Knowing that these people fought like crazy and lost is awful, knowing that hundreds of thousands were exterminated is awful, and knowing that a handful that survived turned around and did the Nakba is awful. Lots of feelings to sit with here.
