Survivor recounts bravery of Warsaw Ghetto resistance on 80th anniversary of uprising.

Aliza Vitis-Shomron, one of the last surviving members of the Warsaw Ghetto resistance, speaks to CNN about the bravery of those who stood up to the Nazis during World War II's largest Jewish uprising. She acted as a messenger, warning the Jews forced to live there that the Nazis were planning to liquidate it. The uprising lasted just a month, but it is remembered today as a heroic act of Jewish defiance during the Holocaust.

Remembering the Heroism of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

On April 19, 1943, a group of Jews living inside the Nazi-created Warsaw Ghetto in Poland began an armed uprising against Hitler’s occupying forces. The monthlong fight represented the largest and most robust retaliation against SS troops who were systematically murdering millions of European Jews. The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was the largest uprising during World War II and inspired other resistance movements across German-occupied Europe. Around April 19, we observe the Days of Remembrance, commemorating the courage of those who took part in the uprising as well as all victims and survivors of the Holocaust.

Remembering the Heroism of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising

On April 19, 1943, Jewish fighters revolted against Nazi barbarism that had methodically undertaken the deportation and extermination of 400,000 Jews crowded into the Warsaw ghetto since July 1942. The act, as heroic as it was desperate, marked the end of the Warsaw ghetto. Three weeks after the final uprising, nothing remained of the ghetto and its inhabitants. Commemorations for the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising began as soon as the war ended and continue to this day.
