The Holocaust, the murder of 11 million people like you and me, killed by the Nazis. Why didn't anyone resist the Nazis? Well, once they did. Standing up to them was not easy, nor was their life or their health. Although it was difficult to stand up, the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto were courageous and very motivated, and they also got to work because rebelling was not easy. The Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto were courageous. These people, despite their living conditions and their own problems, still helped other Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto escape and form anti-Nazi groups such as the ZOB. ZOB is an underground self-defense unit (History.com). These Jews courageously moved back and forth between freedom and the devil. They did this to save other Jews. Then these units, like the ZOB, sneaked into secret Gestapo meetings, knowing that if they were caught it would mean death. They would sneak into these meetings to see what the SS were doing. They discovered that the SS were planning to “move” the Jews to another ghetto. By “moving,” the SS would actually send Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to death and labor camps (History.com). The SS began evacuating Jews from the Warsaw ghetto. When there were only fifty-five to sixty thousand Jews left in the Warsaw ghetto, they finally rebelled. Having a small supply of weapons and a small number of Jews to fight the Gestapo police stationed in the Warsaw ghetto, they nevertheless rebelled (Ushmm.com). The Jews would not have rebelled if they had not had great motivation. The Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto were very motivated. We know this because standing up to the Nazis would take a lot of courage. Some of these Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto were motivated by the idea that they were going to die anyway. And that's when...... middle of paper... courageous, highly motivated and put to work through the planning process. In conclusion, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was a pure act of bravery and hard work. In this uprising there was planning, intelligence and technique to enable the Jews of the Warsaw Ghetto to fight the Nazis. It took a lot of courage. Many Jews involved in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising died. The question is: would you fight if you knew you were going to die anyway? Works Cited Doswell, Paul. The Usborne Introduction to World War II.
