Large transports departed each day for Treblinka. and after a few days this initial resistance to their Nazi oppressors ceased. The fate of the tragic remnants in the ghetto was still undecided. A new crest of terror and violence was reached in April 1943. By this time many older men. women. and children. who had survived the deportations during the summer and fall. had been taken from the ghetto. But most of the younger men and women resisted offers of removal because they knew that every step from the ghetto would bring them closer to death. These young heroic Jews. these Davids of the beleaguered Warsaw ghetto. vowed to resist to the end from their imprisoned citadel.
