Description
This video explains what Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was. During the Holocaust, some Jews armed themselves and fought back against the Nazis.
The largest and most symbolic Jewish-organized revolt became known as the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. As part of their plan to kill all European Jews, the Nazis began deporting Jews from the Warsaw ghetto to the Treblinka killing center.
The Jews in the ghetto realized that these deportations meant almost-certain death, and started organizing armed resistance groups. Jewish fighters clashed with the Germans, preventing the Nazis from carrying out another deportation for almost a month. On May 16, 1943, after 27 days of Jewish revolt, German forces crushed the uprising. Only a small number of Jews managed to escape. For the remainder of the Holocaust, the courage and defiance of Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising inspired more armed resistance against the Nazis.
