Thanks for this, David. A truly gripping book is "The Ghetto Fights", written by one of the very few survivors of those who fought. One thing the article doesn't mention is that the Allied forces refused to send any aid to these fighters. It would have been a fairly simple matter to air drop some weapons to them, but the Allies feared any group that fought on their own more than they feared the Nazis.

  Im Anfang War Die Tat!


  On the eve of Passover, April 19, 1943, SS and police units entered the Warsaw ghetto, intending to liquidate it and deport its remaining inhabitants. Instead, an armed uprising began, and the Jewish resistance fighters would hold off the German forces for nearly a month. The Warsaw ghetto uprising was the largest, symbolically most important Jewish uprising, and the first urban uprising, in German-occupied Europe. On the anniversary, we honor the courage of all who resisted, whether with arms or with spirit.
