By the turn of the century Warsaw had become one of the largest Jewish communities in the world. and at the outbreak of the last war the Jews there numbered some 300.000. Then as the result of Nazi oppression in other parts of Poland. other Jews flocked into Warsaw. Then the Nazis began their hideous method of reducing the number of Jews there by deporting systematically tens of thousands of Jews to concentration camps. Thus by early 1943 the number of Jews in Warsaw dwindled to less than 100.000. and these were living in terror of their lives. It was then that the ghetto uprising began in April.
