POLONIA 19 de abril de 1943'-the Warsaw ghetto uprising broke out in earnest

 

On this day, 19 April 1943, the Warsaw ghetto uprising broke out in earnest when Jews fought back against Nazi attempts to deport them to the Treblinka concentration camp.

Although sadly defeated, it was the biggest armed Jewish rebellion against the fascists.

Pictured are Jewish resistance fighters who were captured.
