The Warsaw Ghetto uprising is one of the great stories of WWII, out if which too little to celebrate came. I remember as a kid wondering why the Jews didn’t fight back. The answer is they did when they could: in Warsaw, in the wilderness of Poland/Belarus, at Treblinka and Sobibor.
Another great story that doesn’t get enough play from Warsaw is the uprising that took place, not by Jews since they were already wiped out, but across the whole city by patriots while the Russians sat idly by and let the nazis kill future opponents of the soon to be puppet regime. We did nothing to help.
