For 27 days in April and May of 1943, Jewish residents of the Warsaw Ghetto staged an uprising against their brutal N**i oppressors. The N**is were preparing to completely liquidate the urban prison and send off all of its Jewish residents to concentration camps.
On April 19th, 1943, the N**is invaded the ghetto with tanks, artillery, and other heavy weaponry, but were ambushed in all directions by the ghetto's resistance fighters--who were outnumbered and armed with just a small cache of weapons. Somehow, the resistance was able to fight off the N**is for nearly a month, but by May 16th, the Ghetto was in complete ruins and the Germans had killed or captured thousands of Jews.
