Dr. Michał Strykowski – unknown fighter of the Jewish Military Union, participant in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

The history of the Jewish Military Union (Żydowski Związek Wojskowy – ŻZW) – a right-wing paramilitary organization, mostly composed of Zionist revisionists – and its participation in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising remains largely undiscovered. While leaders such as Paweł Frenkel, Leon Rodal and Dawid Wdowiński are already relatively well known (at least in the academic community), many members of the top management remain anonymous figures, worthy of a closer look. One of them is Dr. Michał Strykowski from Konin. In this text, I mainly focus on the pre-war period of his short, barely forty-year life.

“I was a member of the inaugural intake of students and the final director of this school...” – Luba Blum-Bielicka and the Nursing School at the Jewish Hospital in Warsaw

In the crowded, dirty, drab, and colorless streets of the ghetto, one would occasionally see groups of girls in pink dresses, white aprons with shoulder straps, and white caps on their heads. They looked like pink flower petals, perhaps alpine violets, and with their brightness, cleanliness, and pastel hues, they gave the impression of otherworldly beings, apparitions that had arrived from who knows where. These girls were students of the Nursing School. ( Alina Margolis-Edelman, „Ala z »Elementarza«”, London 1994)
