The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 2005 Almost since the very beginning of the World War II , Poland went completely under control of German Army . About 3 millions of Jewish people were collected in this country in special ghettos and concentration camps , located all around the territory . The Warsaw Ghetto was established in 1940 and became the largest and the most crowded ghetto , which held from 380 ,000 (Wikipedia ) up to 450 ,000 (Holocaust )Jewish prisoners . Thousands of people died there much before the uprising , mostly from hunger and different diseases .In 1942 Hitler ordered to begin deportation of ghetto residents in order to liquidate such camps . Till September 1942 about 300 ,000 Jewish people were transported to another death camp in Treblinka , where the soldiers murdered all the prisoners . Therefore , only about 55 ,000 – 60 ,000 people left in the Warsaw Ghetto , and in January 1943 this amount decreased down to 37 ,000 of exhausted and hardly alive people (Wikipedia ) Nevertheless , it became obvious for the survivors that sooner or later they would be also taken to the other place to be murdered by the Nazis .First of all , all the residents of the Warsaw ghetto fell into great despair and started living in expectations of death , but soon the idea of resistance appeared among the survivors .

This small victory inspired the prisoners a lot , because they could understand that the resistance had been effective . For some following weeks the troops of rebels had some training sessions and worked on creating the strategy of defense in case of future attempts of German Army to take over the ghetto . Later on , in April , Germans gathered more power and human resources in order to crash the resistance , to collect and deport all the rest of the Warsaw Ghetto residents to extermination camps . Therefore , on the 19th of April , 1943 , the long lasting defense of the Ghetto started . Several hundreds of Jewish prisoners , armed with some guns , pistols , riffles and grenades , set off towards German tanks and crowded troops . The great uprising has started . After the first battles , German troops were forced to withdraw . For some days the rebels could control the majority of the ghetto territories , though all the time shooting could be heard here and there .Finally , German army and police managed to round up the ghetto , and this allowed attacking the rebel troops from all the sides . German General Stroop ordered his army to burn down the ghetto and destroy all the rebels without any delay . Since the end of April German forces started massive attacks…
