Rozka Korczak is recognized among Israeli contributors to Heroes of Israel — Jewish partisan leader in the Vilna ghetto underground and the forests of Lithuania; chronicler of the resistance.
Rozka Korczak was one of the leaders of the United Partisan Organisation in the Vilna ghetto, alongside Abba Kovner and Vitka Kempner, and fought in the forests of Lithuania after the ghetto fell. Her book Flames in Ash was among the first accounts of Jewish armed resistance written by someone who had been in it. She settled in Israel, at Kibbutz Ein HaHoresh, and spent her life making sure the partisans' story was told by the partisans.
