LET ME RECOMMEND THE MOVIE UPRISING in connection with this story. Warsaw Ghetto Uprising Remembered By Holocaust Survivor Aliza Mendel. “The 1943 Warsaw ghetto uprising was the first large-scale rebellion against the Nazis in Europe and the single greatest act of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust. Though guaranteed to fail, it became a symbol of struggle against impossible conditions, illustrated a refusal to succumb to Nazi atrocities and inspired other acts of uprising and underground resistance by Jews and non-Jews alike.”
