Talk:Mordechai Anielewicz

message: This page has two different spellings of the first name. What's up with this? There needs to be either a correction or a redirect. Mordechai or Mordecai are the spellings that I'm used to.
:His name was in Polish snce he was a Pole. However, if wkpedans decide that his name should be translated or transcrybed to nternatonal version - it hould be [Mordehay] (phonetic).Halibutt 12:20, 20 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: As a practicing professional Holocaust archivist, I don't agree that Polish-born Jews' names -- this one in Hebrew (also Yiddish) -- must always be spelled in the English Wikipedia according to the Polish transliteration . This is particularly significant in the case of Zionist activists and those who lived and worked within the Jewish community. A more correct transliteration/transcription of his first name, and one widely used in English sources, is Mordechai, whereas the Encyclopaedia of the Holocaust, generally regarded as the leading authority among published reference works on the subject, spells it Mordecai. (The phonetic transcription suggested above by Halibutt is less familiar in conventional texts, and problematic in its rendering of the Hebrew letter כ with only the Latin letter "H".) I would support a renaming of this article. -- Deborahjay 00:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling of name 

message: hello. the page says that Anielewicz died fighting the Germans, which might not be correct. Idith Zertal, in (Israel's Holocaust and the Politics of Nationhood, 2005) speaks of a collective suicide (page 35). Marek Edelman, Anielewicz's second in command, after the war, said that he had killed himself. The thing is, nobody survived from the bunker at Mila 18, the HQ of the ghetto revolt, so it is hard to say exactly who committed suicide and who died when the Germans pumped gas into the bunker. would it not be better to say simply that he died in the ghetto revolt?

thread_title:  death of Anielewicz 

message: Can we have a source for the assertion that the central figure in the Ghetto memorial sculpture is intended to be Anielewicz? It doesn't look very like him. In fact none of the figures look remotely Jewish - they are all generic Soviet-era "hero-faces". Also it would have contradicted Soviet-era views to glorify an individual leader - particularly a non-Communist one. I suspect this may be a myth. Intelligent Mr Toad (talk) 20:10, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: What do you suspect might be a myth? Those who commissioned the sculpture; whom do you think they intended to portray; if not Anielewicz bravely standing his ground and leading his men into battle. Itzse (talk) 20:19, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ghetto memorial 

message: We write:
"In 1983, 50 years after their deaths, the Israeli government issued a two-stamp set honoring Anielewicz and Josef Glazman as the heroes of the Warsaw and Vilna ghettos."
1983 would be 40 years after their deaths, not 50. Multi io (talk) 12:33, 28 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  two-stamp set in 1983 or 1993? 

message: From the article:
Upon his return to Warsaw, he found that a major deportation to the Treblinka extermination camp had been carried out and only 60 of the Warsaw Ghetto's 350 Jews killed
Only 60 killed ?? What happened to: '60,000 of the Warsaw Ghetto's 350,000 Jews remained.' from a month ago ??  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.82.146.205 (talk) 00:23, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Nazi nonsense 

message: Re The actor Murray Salem played Anielewicz in the 1978 television miniseries Holocaust, while Hank Azaria played this role in the 2001 television film Uprising. Anielewicz is also a key figure in Harry Turtledove's alternate history series Worldwar and appears as a character in the Highlander 1997 novel Zealot and in the role-playing game Wraith: The Oblivion, where he is the de-facto leader of the Shadowlands version of the Warsaw Ghetto.
Ok I can see reasons for the info on the miniseries and the 2001 film. But the alternate history series, the Highlander novel and the role playing game? I dunno, it just sort of seems inappropriate.radek (talk) 01:07, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
