Many Jews in Nazi ghettos chose to stage uprising instead of being sent to concentration camps.

The holocaust was the mass genocide of approximately six million Jews during World War II, led by Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party in Germany and other parts of German-occupied Europe.




Approximately two-thirds of the nine million Jews that lived throughout Europe were killed, including women and children.




Many of these people knew they were going to die in the Nazi extermination camps, and acknowledging their death was inevitable, they chose to stage uprisings instead of submitting meekly to their fate. Despite a series of small victories, they were unable to keep themselves from being sent to the camps, and the survivors were only freed when Allied Forces reached the camps in 1944.




These people were decided to fight for their freedom or die trying. The image in this post is one of Vladka Meed, a noted member of the Jewish resistance in the Warsaw ghetto and Treblinka concentration camp.
