Stefan Wladislaw was a member
of Betar. He transferred pistols and grenades
through the sewage pipes [of the Warsaw
Ghetto]
to his friends in the underground. In the
summer of 1942,
on his way back from the Aryan side with
weapons, he found three Gestapo agents waiting for him at the entrance to
the pipe. Stefan drew his gun, killed one,
and injured a second. The third German escaped
and called for help. A German unit arrived
and shot Wladislaw dead. Inscribed on his
grave is: “Here lies Stefan Wladislaw,
a soldier of the Jewish
Military Organization who died in battle against the enemy.”
