Warsaw Ghetto Uprising
German troops lead Polish Jews from the burning Warsaw Ghetto in 1943. After taking control of Warsaw in 1939, the Germans built a walled ghetto into which they herded Jews from the city and the surrounding region, before sending them to concentration camps. In April 1943 the Jews in the ghetto staged a heroic month-long resistance, but succumbed when the Germans burned the ghetto down.
