Vladka Meed's "On Both Sides of the Wall"
Samuel Kassow, historian of the Warsaw Ghetto and the Ringelblum Archive, and Steven D. Meed, physician and translator of his mother Vladka Meed’s memoir, discuss Vladka’s life as a courier who passed as Polish to smuggle weapons and help Jews escape. They explore the new translation’s additions, daily mechanics of smuggling, cross-ideological resistance, Bundist roots, and the moral complexity of survival and solidarity.
