The Warsaw Ghetto was one of the most famous ghettos. It
was established for 500,000 Jews. Over a year, 45,000 of these people died
of starvation, disease, cold, and murder. This ghetto had the worst living
conditions of any ghetto in the Holocaust. It had three toilets for every
500 people. It was only cleaned up when a rumor got out about where ghetto
inhabitants were going.
On April 19, 1943, General Stoop tried to send all inhabitants to Treblinka. Mordecai Aniekewicz led the Jews in this revolt. 70,000 people died after this revolt in the gas chambers. |
