The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is the most important revolt of Jews against the Nazis in the Holocaust. On April 19, 1943 Nazi soldiers entered the Warsaw Ghetto in order to liquidate it. To their surprise they met with heavy resistance from Jewish fighters who used guerrilla warfare. The insurgents, with the scant means at their disposal, managed to make a heroic stand against the Nazis that lasted for almost a whole month. The uprising is considered a symbol of the resistance and heroism of the Jews during the Holocaust.
