Jewish Fighting Organisation established
The Jewish Fighting Organisation was established. It was formed by a surviving group of Jews. It was called the Z.O.B. This was the Polish name for Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa. (This translates to Jewish Fighting Organisation.) The Z.O.B was led by a 23-year old whose name was Mordeca Anielewicz. He issued an announcement calling for the Jewish people to resist going to the railroad cars. -

Jews slaughtered

Warsaw Ghetto uprising
The Warsaw Ghetto uprising was caused by German troops and police entering the Ghetto and attempting to take the surviving Ghetto people away for deportation. However, the Jewish Fighting Organisation were ready to resist the Germans; they had barricaded themselves in buildings and bunkers. Germans started to burn down the ghettos to force the Jews out. -
