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.
