# Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

> Armed Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto became the first urban uprising against Nazi occupation in occupied Europe, defying deportation and certain death.

## Summary

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was an uprising by the Jewish resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto in German-occupied Poland during World War II to oppose Nazi Germany's final effort to transport the remaining ghetto population to the gas chambers of the Majdanek and Treblinka extermination camps in 1943. It was the largest single revolt by Jews against the Nazis during World War II.
