Shoshan Kossower pseud. Emilia Rozencwajg - Jewish resistance activist during World War II, Jewish liaison and Polish underground.

During the German occupation she lost two sisters and a father. She hid on the Aryan side. Various publications indicate that she was a liaison officer of the Jewish Military Union (ZZW). In the interview conducted in 2000, the Polish journalist Ance Grupińska recalled that she was not particularly active. She contacted the right-wing Betar organization. As she remembers, "I took two arms to the ghetto. I bought her on the Aryan side and I carried her. I gave it to someone, but I do not remember what it was called. I even advised him to leave the ghetto because he did not look like a Jew. But he did not want to stay there, "and" I did not even know there was a ZZW organization. The Jews asked me for weapons, I was able to buy them, I took them. It did not matter who it was, I knew that the weapon was against the Germans and that was all. "

She participated in the organization of help for Jews, taking part in the departure of the historian Emanuel Ringelblum from the Trawniki labor camp and carrying Jews from the ghetto to the Aryan side. She was active in the Home Army and the Jewish National Committee. She participated in the Warsaw Uprising.

Since 1950 he has lived in exile in Israel. He is one of the last survivors of ZZW. Bibliography
