Even the recent AA winner, The Pianist, neglects to inform the audience of the Soviet's actions wrt to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. The Jews held off the Nazis for weeks with a few guns and little else. While the Red Army stood by idlely, the Nazis finally slaughtered the Jews.

Had the Red Army wished it could have put a stop to the slaughter by attacks at almost any time. It did nothing.

You are confusing the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943 with the Warsaw uprising of 1944.

IIRC (from a book I read about 15 years ago), the leadership of the Uprising managed to communicate with the Soviets asking them to bomb the ghetto.

That was the anti-Nazi, anti-Soviet Polish Home Army which was chewed-up in 1944 while the Red Army watched. It didn't stop then either. Over 30,000 more were murdered after the war including General Emil Fieldorf who planned the assassination of the Nazi chief of police in Warsaw.
