The remaining inhabitants of the ghetto decided to set a sign – a sign that would show the world that the Jews would not surrender without fighting. On 19 April 1043 those remaining in the ghetto rebelled against the SS-formations that had moved in to drive out the remaining inhabitants – expecting no resistance at all. Poorly armed, outnumbered and in a hopeless position very soon, the fighters of the organization „Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa“ and other Jewish fighting units still held out almost for a full month against the occupying forces, before the fighting ended on 16 May 1943. The remaining buildings in the former ghetto were burned down or blown up by the Germans and only a few former inhabitants of the ghetto survived. | The remaining inhabitants of the ghetto decided to set a sign – a sign that would show the world that the Jews would not surrender without fighting.

To realize how important this example of Jewish resistance is today, it is enough to go to Warsaw on April 19, as every year on this day people wear yellow daffodils to commemorate the Warsaw ghetto uprising and the victims of the holocaust. | To realize how important this example of Jewish resistance is today, it is enough to go to Warsaw on April 19, as every year on this day people wear yellow daffodils to commemorate the Warsaw ghetto uprising and the victims of the holocaust. |
