    More Jews were killed and rescued in Poland than in any other European nation. Irena Sendler (Kryzanowska) was able to rescue about 2,500 Jewish children from the Warsaw Ghetto. Sendler was a health worker successful in sneaking children out between 1942 and 1943 by giving them false identification documents and shelter outside of the ghetto. She made over 3,000 false documents for Jewish individuals before she joined the Konrad Zegota Committee. The Konrad Zegota Committee was the council for aid to Jews and was established in Warsaw, Poland in 1942 but Sendler did not join until 1943. In order to escape, Sendler would use ambulances, sewer pipes, underground passages, trolleys, and the courthouse to smuggle children out of the ghetto. She…

    The ghetto was where the Nazis send all the remaining Jews to live in. It was located on the outskirts of Germany. Most Jews had to watch their families and friends die in front of them. They were done watching people getting killed in front of them. On September 1942 the United Partisan Organization was formed in the Vilna ghetto. They built a secret headquarters and weapon factory in a basement that was hidden from the Nazis, mapped all alleys and cellars while traveling without being detected. They stocked guns and taught new members on how to fight and use a grenade. A little while later they gathered more than 200 fighters. Near the beginning of September, 1943 the Jews heard that the ghetto was going to be destroyed and decided to attack when the German soldiers arrive. On September 23rd, 1943 the Nazis…

    Is it possible that a group of people could fight tanks and mounted machine guns with only a few pistols and rifles? Well that is what happened in the Uprising of Warsaw Ghetto in April, 1943 when a group of Jewish fighters fought the Nazi power. The Jews were equipped with only pistols and a few rifles. They dug tunnels and bunkers to hide and store stuff. Although the Germans defeated the Jews in the Warsaw ghetto uprising, they did not stand a chance until the Jews ran out of men and supplies.…

    The Ghettos were temporary housing provided by the German government, used as a barrier between the Jews and the rest of the population. The living conditions were miserable. For example, Warsaw, the largest Ghetto, housed over 400,000 Jews but only covered 1.3 square miles. Usually the houses were very small and filled with multiple families. The law enforced strict curfews and laws resulting in death if broken. The housing was filthy and unsuitable for adequate living, which usually resulted in large numbers of death by disease. The Nazis saw the Jews as inferior and treated them like animals. The Ghettos emphasized how much the Jewish people were affected by dehumanization.…

    Atrocities during the Holocaust, orchestrated by Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, began in 1933 and continued until 1945. In 1940, the Warsaw Ghetto located in Warsaw, Poland was created by Nazis to isolate the Jews off from the outer population. This began a time of fear and uncertainty for the ghetto inhabitants, which eventually sparked an uprising. Personal accounts help illustrate this disturbing time in history. The stories shared by survivors are critical for appreciating this dark time, which must never be forgotten. The Warsaw Ghetto inhabitants endured an inhuman lifestyle inside these walls fueling an organized resistance, unprecedented during the Holocaust, proving that the Jews when pushed to their limits, will fight back.…

    There are numerous ways that groups and individuals can intervene in the name of justice, from staging violent uprisings to creating underground networks that rescue children from danger, but the people involved in these movements all share several defining characteristics: Courage, selflessness, and a strong sense of right and wrong. One example of a resistance movement that held these traits is the Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa, or the Jewish Fighting Organization, a group of young Jewish rebels living in the Warsaw Ghetto who refused to be deported to extermination camps by German soldiers. The ZOB was best known for staging the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, a one-month armed revolt against the Germans. Unfortunately, the Nazis ended up crushing…

    That decision went through many convoluted changes before its ultimate determination.”* holocaustresearchproject.org Hitler never considered the idea of ghettos until he realized that Jews would make good labor, and that they were much easier to isolate and transport this way. It became the third step in the four-step answer to “The Jewish Question” that consisted of first isolating them from society (yellow patches, labeling businesses as Jewish), removing their rights (curfews, Jew-only areas, restricting business), transporting them to ghettos, and finally transporting them to concentration or extermination camps. Jews were rounded up and transported to town in empty factories in which they would live in wall-less or roofless buildings, living on scraps of food and drops of water and working for a majority of the day. “His family now lived on factory grounds, in a shelter with a roof with no walls, and with little food besides spoonfuls of potato soup. There was hardly any water-- only two faucets for the whole ghetto.” Bascomb, Neal Nazi Hunters (2013). Besides the physical benefits that the ghettos provided for the Nazis, a bonus was the emotional effects it had on the Jews. The cruel conditions of the…

    In the film, the liquidation of the Krakow Ghetto on March 13, 1943, was depicted as one of the most brutal moments of the Holocaust and of WWII. In the film, the Nazis marched up and down the streets of the ghetto, screaming at all the Jews to exit their houses. The German officers broke into people’s homes and forcefully dragged them out into the streets, not allowing them to bring personal belongings. They tore apart their homes. The Nazis shot anyone on spot who tried to oppose them, including small children and the elderly. Later that night, the Nazis returned and killed anyone they found in hiding. In total, the SS and police authorites killed 2,000 Jews, sent 2,000 to Plazow, and almost 3,000 to Aucshwitz-Birkenau.…

    “A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, especially because of social, legal, or economic pressure.”(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ghetto) Jews were restricted and segregated in the ghettos. During the Holocaust, the creation of ghettos was a key step in the Nazi process of separating, persecuting, and ultimately destroying Europe's Jews. Many people died in these ghettos. “No writing can begin to adequately describe the misery and despair of life in the ghettos established by the Nazis.” (http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/ghettos/) Millions of souls were lost during the years of Nazi tyranny, and their passing has made the world a poorer place.

    The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

    • 1354 Words

    The article “The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising” mentions that even though 60,000 Jews perished during the uprising the small victories “inspired the ghetto fighters to prepare for future resistance” (“The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising”). After the uprising, the Jews started to realize that hope still existed. At the end of Tale of Two Cities, Dickens describes that the French Revolution had subsided and that there was hope that life would get better in the future: “I see a beautiful city and a brilliant people rising from this abyss, and, in their struggles to be truly free, in their triumphs and defeats, through long years to come, I see the evil of this time and of the previous time of which this is the natural birth, gradually making expiation for itself and wearing out” (Dickens 342). Dickens’s ending to Tale of Two Cities related to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising because the Jews were able to fight for their freedom, and they expressed the victory by holding on to hope, their spirit, and their beliefs. The Jews that did survive the uprising felt that they were no safe and soon fled the country to Israel, so they could practice their beliefs freely. Jeri Freeman suggests that “the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising changed the view that Jews accepted abuse and were to afraid to fight back” (Freedman 60). Jewish…
