The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943 was one of the most significant events to take place in 20th-century Poland. Local Jewish residents protested against the Nazis and concentration camps of World War II. The uprising went on for almost a month and tragically resulted in the deaths of about 13,000 local Jews.
