Simcha Rotem, the last surviving warrior of the 1943 uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto, has passed away at the age of 94. Rotem served as a courier between those who fought in what was the greatest act of armed Jewish resistance during the Holocaust, and those who were fighting on the side of the “Aryans” — the Nazis.
