Warsaw Ghetto

Jews and "undesirables" were murdered. The Germans forced them to move into ghettos and some were sent to death camps. Most did not last days in the ghettos. At the time of the Holocaust, Jews and other "undesirables" used armed and unarmed resistance in order to retain their humanity. In 1943 there was a warsaw ghetto resistance that's resulted in an armed revolt against the germans. The rumors got around within the ghetto, that they were going to be deported to killing centers so they took…

My first remarkable fact is the resistance Jews showed against the Nazis. The story of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising was something I 've never learned about before, I always thought “why didn 't the Jews fight back?” when in reality they did. The Jewish Fighting Organization was very inspiring to learn about. To fight against something so disgusting and inhuman was so brave for those last 700 Jewish teenagers. They didn 't let the daunting numbers of the Nazis scare them away nor did they let the…

I’m Adam and I am eleven years old. I am the only son of my mother Adina and my father Levi. I live in Poland, in the Warsaw Ghetto. We were forced into coming here on the 26th of August, 1943.

Late one afternoon, I was bringing soup to my sick…

millions of one race allow themselves to be slaughtered by allowing to be placed in ghettos and concentration camps, being exterminated shortly after?

From the very start of the war in 1939, Jews have been placed in Ghettos, created by the Nazis to confine and segregate them from the outside…

1) Journal of the Jews 2) Model of the ‘Before’ and ‘After’ effect of the uprising in Warsaw Ghetto 3) Food the Jews ate during (1942-1943) 4) Armband of a jewish person/ID card 1) The journals the Jews wrote into and the food given to them by the Nazis would soon be an example in the future as to what horrible things the Nazi did to the Jews, being a lesson as to what humans should not do in generations to come. 2) Before races and ethnic groups despised one another and certain groups were…

My story I was a Jew in my early 20s living in the Warsaw ghetto. In my life I’ve encountered many things that give me nightmares till this day. During the process my family was stripped from me and killed. Sometimes I have night terrors about the things I’ve experienced. May 26, 1943 was the day I was recruited to the Jewish Combat Organization. A man named Mordecai Anielwicz recruited me to his group of rebellions to fight against the Nazis. Our group did not have much weapons besides pistols…

proved to be a substantial benefit.3 An outbreak of the typhus disease, with an average of 750 Jews dying in the Warsaw Ghetto per day, resulted in the Germans becoming apprehensive about whether it would be transmitted further into Warsaw.8,14 Thus, in efforts to reduce the advancement of the disease, the epidemic granted Irena Sendlerowa a permit, which allowed her to enter the Warsaw Ghetto to observe for indications of typhus.3,19 Working alongside 30 Żegota associates, using sanitary…

World War II. The Invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany devastated a lot of people, as their resistance crumbled in the hands of Nazi leaders. The Polish were disposed through the hands of Nazis, weather through concentration camps or the bombing of the Warsaw Zoo.

The Zabinskis weren’t forgotten due…
