Describes the formation and destruction of the Warsaw Ghetto by the Nazis, covering the causes of the formation of the ghetto, daily life in the ghetto, the events that led to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and the aftermath of the uprising.
The German invasion of Poland in 1939 gave the Nazis the opportunity to implement their master plan to eliminate Europe's Jews. Part of the plan encompassed confining the Jews in a restricted area of Warsaw to make their survival difficult, followed by mass transportation of survivors to concentration camps, where they were killed.
