The+Warsaw+Ghetto+Uprising+of+1943

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943 was a major point for Jews in the Holocaust which included many underground Jewish organizations. One of the most famous groups formed was the Z.O.B. (Zydowska Organiacja Bojowa).There main goal was to resist going on railroad cars and to stop the mass deportation to Treblinka from the Warsaw ghetto.

The rebellion began in October of 1942 with small revolts between the Z.O.B. and the Nazi officers. Overtime the revolts started to grow bigger and bigger. This was because the Nazi officers were ordered to liquidate the Warsaw ghetto and resume the mass deportation of it's residents to labor camps. As tension grew between the two groups one of the biggest revolts occurred. On April 19th 1943, 750 Jewish fighters fought the heavily armed German soldiers. The revolt lasted for a few months but, the Nazi soldiers eventually crushed the resistance (Z.O.B.). The remaining Jews that were left in the ghetto were deported to concentration camps.

Although the Jewish rebellion failed, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943 was possibly one of the most important events during the Holocaust. Every battle they had inspired the Jewish people to never give up hope.
