I made a mistake in the version of the page you reviewed--I confused the FPO (in which Kempner served, but did not assume a role of historical importance) with its successor militia, the Nokmim (in which Kempner did assume a leadership role). The error has been corrected and I've added a second citation for extra support.

The Nokmim, as far as we know, were the only undefeated Jewish ghetto uprising in the history of WWII. Kempner, Rozka Korczak, and founder Abba Kovner are acknowledged in multiple sources as its three leaders; they're already featured in many historical photographs accompanying existing Wikipedia entries on topics related to the Holocaust in Lithuania.
