Paweł Frenkiel

Paweł Frenkiel (sometimes also Frenkel, Hebrew: פאוול פרנקל; ?–1943) was a Polish Army officer and a Jewish youth leader in Warsaw and one of the senior commanders of the Jewish Military Union, or the ŻZW. Although one of the most important leaders of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Jewish resistance in the months preceding April 1943, Frenkiel is also one of the least well known to historians. The name Paweł is believed to have been a codename. His actual name, early life,and ultimate fate are a subject of some controversy.
