Talk:Szmul Zygielbojm

message: I am virtually certain that Zygielbojm self-immolated himself, and added this pertinent information to the article. Please do not remove this information without an explanation. Dr. Dan 15:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sorry. I've never heard about Zygielbojm's self-immolation and, to be honest, it seems anachronistic. (Was self-immolation known in the West in 1943?) Every source I've consulted says that he turned on the gas in his flat. For example, from the third external link in the article:On 12 May 1943, he committed suicide in London by turning on the gas in his apartment.Or his obituary, on this site. (Granted, it doesn't mention gas, but I would imagine that (a) one who self-immolates wouldn't be found "almost unconscious" and rushed to the hospital and (b) such an unusual method of suicide would have been considered news-worthy.) Do any sources indicate that Zygielbojm's suicide was by self-immolation? Malik Shabazz 19:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe there's some confusion; immolation is usually used for sacrivice by burning, but can be used for sacrifice in general. http://www.websters-online-dictionary.org/definition/immolation Gzuckier 19:18, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps, but the Wiki article to which Dr. Dan linked seems very specific about killing oneself by fire. In any event, unless it can be shown that Zygielbojm's suicide was by fire, why confuse the matter? Malik Shabazz 23:54, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: [[self-immolation]]

message: "A few dozen copies of a report on the Chelmno murders were circulated throughout the ghetto. This report was also sent abroad, together with a demand to take retaliatory measures against the German civilian population. But public opinion abroad did not believe the story either. Our appeal found no response. Comrade Zygielbojm, our representative in the Polish National Council in London, broadcast the literal text of our message in a radio speech to the whole world. The following morning his appeal was circulated in the ghetto both in a special edition of our publication Der Weker and in the papers of all other political groups."
Marek Edelman ,who died yesterday, and Szmul Zygelbojm belonged to the same organisation, they knew each other. See *Marek Edelman, Resisting the Holocaust: Fighting Back in the Warsaw Ghetto, Ocean Press, 2004, ., (Excerpt online)

thread_title:  What is ''Szmul Mordekhai Zygielbojm," Aktion Reinhard Camps.''? 

message: Surely you can find an excerpt from this booklet that better follows the narrative thrust of the previous paragraphs, and focuses on the murder of the Jews prompting Zygielboim's activism, than a paragraph that mainly revolves around the deeds of Polish gentiles? Its placement here comes off as promotional.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ereb0r (talk • contribs) 22:36, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Booklet Excerpt  

message: Another variation of his name is Samuel (or Shmul) Mordechai Arthur Zigelbaum which could be added to the title as when searched for he can be difficult to find information about. He is also referenced by the Soviet war correspondent Vasily Grossman who refers to him as 'Comrade Arthur' in his writing about the Warsaw Uprising. Si noah (talk) 09:54, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

message: Szmul Zygielbojm died by suicide.  (He did not "commit" suicide as it is not a crime.  Please refrain from using these stigmatising language.)    Thank you 105.229.81.83 (talk) 17:00, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
