One of the commanders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, an outstanding heart surgeon, and an activist, Edelman, was born on 1Janury 1919 in Homel (in today’s Belarus).

Let’s remind his words:

“Regardless of who the victim is, we must be on their side. We must shelter them. Hide them in the cellar. And not to be afraid of doing that. In general, we stand against the oppressors.”
