during World War II, during the holocaust. One of the largest ghettos
was the Warsaw Ghetto. In Warsaw, Nazis enclosed Jews in a small
area of about 1.3 square miles with 400,000 Jews crowded in. Many
Jews were starved, living on the streets in poverty and kept under
miserable conditions.

This event took place on July 22 and September 12, 1942. German Nazis killed or deported around 300,000 Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto. This
tried to organize an resistance against the Germans and to protect themselves with smuggled and homemade weapons.
A surviving group called the Z.O.B (Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa) meaning Jewish Fighting organization was led by Mordecai Anielewicz
who was 23 years old. Mordecai thought that the best way to resist the Germans were to try to escape through railroad cars. In January 1943,
Warsaw ghetto Jews fired at German troops as they tried to round up another group of Jews to bring to concentration camps. After a few days,
the troops withdrew and this small victory of hope inspired the Z.O.B for future accomplishments.
Yitzhak Zuckerman, the one standing up, is one of the founders of the Jewish
Fighting Organization (ZOB) in Warsaw, Poland. He was an underground leader in
the Warsaw Ghetto, speaks at a political meeting in the Zeilsheim displaced persons'
camp in 1945.
Sara Rachela Plagier
"In the ghetto we had no need for a calendar. Our lives were divided into periods based on the distribution of food: bread every eighth day, the
ration once a month Each day fell into two parts: before and after we received our soup. In this way the time passed.”
Sara Rachela Plagier, born on March 26, 1927, in Lodz, Poland was a ghetto Holocaust survivor. She was the only child of Anszel and Mindl
Plagier. After the Invasion of Poland, they all moved to Warsaw hoping to find a better place to live in; but when they were going to leave they
were trapped when the Lodz Ghetto(another ghetto in Poland) was sealed.

Soon after, Sara started to attend a ghetto high school where her mother died in the ghetto at the age of 36 and her father was extremely sick
and so Sara went to live with her aunt in Chelmno. Right when she moved there her aunt had to be sent to a ghetto and so Sara and her father
found an abandoned house to live in. Sadly, on Passover in 1943, her father died due to starvation and Sarah was reported to Auschwitz, a
slave labor camp.
