Why is the Jewish fortress called masada considered a symbol of Jewish heroism?

King Herod built it for himself as summer palace. After his passing, the palace was mostly derelict. During the late 60's CE, there was a Jewish Zealot uprising in Roman Palestine that went disastrously for the Zealots and they fled to the fortress of Masada to escape needing to surrender to the Romans (and possible enslavement). The fortress was near impregnable, but the Romans built a ramp so that they could bring a battering ram up to the fortress. Rather than be taken alive, all of the Zealots in Masada committed suicide. Most Jews today see them as martyrs fighting for the restoration of Jewish religious rights and political rights.
