Holocaust Memory Project: Ghetto Uprising

Examines the Warsaw ghetto uprising, including the roots of the resistance in the Warsaw ghetto, stories from the participants in the uprising, how the battle ended, and how the small group of fighters became heroes during the Holocaust.

Describes the formation and destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto by the Nazis, covering the causes of the formation of the ghetto, daily life in the ghetto, the events that led to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and the aftermath of the uprising.

Discussing the roots of anti-Semitism and providing background on Hitler's rise to power, this illustrated account of the Polish Jews' rebellion against the Nazis pays homage to the courage of the Warsaw inhabitants who battled against overwhelming odds.

In the spring of 1943, thousands of Jews forced to live in the Warsaw ghetto rose up against their Nazi persecutors. This moving history recounts the struggle of these people to survive and hold their community together while living under the constant threat of death.

Chronicles the deportation of Jews into ghettos during Hitler's Third Reich and presents the narratives of three individuals who, as teenagers, lived in the ghettos of Lodz, Theresienstadt, and Warsaw and survived physical deprivations, abuse, and deportation to the death camps.

This volume explains the role that ghettos played in the Nazis' scheme to isolate & control the Jews in preparation for relocation to death camps.

For three nightmarish years the Jews of Kovno faced mass murders and endured forced labour and deportations, but they refused to let their suffering be forgotten. With photographs, paintings, drawings, letters, diaries and reports they metivulously recorded their plight.
