Warsaw Ghetto Uprising 75th Anniversary Nears
People walk past an inscription in the sidewalk that shows the border of the former Warsaw Ghetto on April 12, 2018 in Warsaw, Poland. Poland will commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising on April 19. The Warsaw Ghetto was a prison created by the German military during its occupation of Warsaw during World War II. Starting in 1940, 400,000 Jews were confined to a walled-in neighborhood of 3.4 square kilometers under horrific conditions. With assistance from Polish partisans the Jews rose up in armed resistance in 1943 and held off the Germans for several weeks until the Germans annihilated the ghetto, killing 13,000 people. In all 392,000 Jews from the Warsaw ghetto were killed, most of them after deportation to the Treblinka death camp. (Footage by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
