In April 1943, a small group of Jewish fighters in the Warsaw Ghetto chose to resist. Armed with smuggled weapons and fueled by the knowledge that deportation meant death, the Jewish Combat Organization held off the German military for nearly a month — the longest urban uprising of the Second World War.
This experience tells the story of that resistance: the leaders who organized it, the fighters who carried it out, and the impossible conditions in which they acted. It is not only a story of the Holocaust — it is a story of human courage.
The first in a planned trilogy exploring Jewish resistance and defiance, this experience is designed for individuals and school groups studying resistance, the Holocaust, and the history of World War II.
