Warsaw had once been known as the center of Eastern European Jewry. After the invasion. Jews found their freedom sharply curtailed by restrictions established by the Nazis and by 1940. more than 400.000 Polish Jews had been walled into a ghetto in Warsaw. Starvation. disease. and deportation to the death camps took the lives of many of the inhabitants of this ghetto. In April 1943. the 70.000 or so that remained heroically engaged the German soldiers in battle. Armed with homemade weapons and knowing full well that they had no hope of success. these inhabitants of the Warsaw ghetto struggled for nearly a month against the Nazi soldiers.
