Vitka Kempner

Vitka Kempner (14 March 1920–2012) was a Lithuanian Jewish partisan leader during World War II. She served in the United Partisan Organization (Fareynikte Partizaner Organizatsye) and, alongside Rozka Korczak and founder Abba Kovner, assumed a leadership role in its successor group, the Avengers (Nokmim) — the only known undefeated ghetto uprising in the history of the Holocaust.

Kempner and Kovner later married in 1946.

Kempner is remembered in the song Shtil, di nakht iz oysgeshternt by Hirsh Glick, which celebrates her heroic attack on a German convoy in the Vilnius sector in 1942.
