Remembering the Heroism of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
TL;DR
On April 19, 1943, Jewish fighters revolted against Nazi barbarism that had methodically undertaken the deportation and extermination of 400,000 Jews crowded into the Warsaw ghetto since July 1942. The act, as heroic as it was desperate, marked the end of the Warsaw ghetto. Three weeks after the final uprising, nothing remained of the ghetto and its inhabitants. Commemorations for the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began as soon as the war ended and continue to this day.
