Marek Edelman, February 13, 2009,
the day the U.S. Embassy presented
him the Jan Karski Freedom Award.

On behalf of the Department of State I wish to express our sympathy and solidarity with the people of Poland upon the death of Marek Edelman, the last surviving leader of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and an activist in the Solidarity movement.   We extend our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Edelman and salute his life dedicated to the defense of human dignity and freedom.  The United States stands with Poland as it mourns the loss of a great man.
