What is more, they were not allowed to leave the area of the ghetto. .

Uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto

The uprising in Warsaw Ghetto was an armed conflict between the German Wehrmacht and the Warsaw Jews who had to live in the ghetto. The fight began on 19 April 1943 but the tenacious Jewish resistance was broken very soon, on the 16th May 1943 by SS-Brigadeführer Jürgen Stroop, who later became the Gruppenführer. After the suppression of the Jewish revolt, when the rest of the revolting Jews was liquidated, Hitler ordered to wipe the ghetto from the map.
