Ghetto uprisings during World War II were the armed revolts by Jews and other prisoners incarcerated in the newly established ghettos in Nazi-occupied Europe after the German invasion of Poland in 1939, as well as its own ally the Soviet Union in 1941. In most instances, the ghetto resistance fighters took up arms against the Nazi plans to deport all inhabitants to concentration and extermination camps with the aim of their mass extermination.[1]
Armed resistance was offered in over 100 ghettos.[2] Some of these uprisings were more massive and organized, while others were small and spontaneous. The best known and the biggest of such uprisings took place in Warsaw in April–May 1943.[3] In the course of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 56,065 Jews were either killed on the spot or captured and transported aboard Holocaust trains to extermination camps before the Ghetto was razed to the ground, according Stroop Report.[4][5] There were also other such struggles leading to the wholesale burning of the ghettos.[6]
