I believe there one armed battle in a Polish ghetto.

When your life and your family’s life is on the line, I bet they would get comfortable with guns in a hurry.

If they had them.

In the battle of the Warsaw Ghetto, they fought like lions. Sun Tzu said never make your enemy feel like they have nothing left to lose. The Jews in the ghetto knew they had nothing left to lose, so they fought like men possessed.

The Warsaw uprising is what you refer to.

They thought the Russians were going to liberate them soon so they took up arms against the German occupiers. Instead, the Russians simply stopped their advance long enough for the Germans to suppress the uprising.

In an interesting twist, the German military treated the Jews participating in the uprising as POWs, a sign of respect.
