What Really Happened Inside the Warsaw Ghetto? | Unpacked

Описание: In the Warsaw Ghetto, 700 young Jews—hungry, outgunned, and facing certain de@th—rose against the N@zis with stolen pistols and homemade b0mbs.

In what became the largest Jewish uprising of the H0l0caust, for nearly a month, they held their ground, shattering N@zi confidence and inspiring resistance across Europe. Their defiance sparked uprisings across Europe and left a legacy of courage in the face of certain de@th.

About Explainers: From ancient Jewish traditions to the modern State of Israel, we explain it all. Diving into anything and everything related to Jewish culture, history, and even religion.
Understand Jewish holidays, Israeli politics, Jewish diasporic communities, and more. Learn about Judaism in pop culture, debunking myths about Jews, and explore obscure Israeli landmarks. We’re asking questions as basic as “What is the Talmud?”, and as obscure as “How did hip-hop boost Kosher wine sales?”, and everything in between.

About Unpacked: We provide nuanced insights by unpacking all things Jewish. People are complex and complicated — yet we’re constantly being pushed to oversimplify our world. At Unpacked we know that being complex makes us more interesting. Because of this, we break the world down with nuance and insight to drive your curiosity and challenge your thinking.
