The Jewish fighters had limited resources during the war in the Warsaw Ghetto. So they had to make their own weapons and objects they would help defeat the German army. They made things like guns and grenades out of random scrap found on the ground or in abandoned factories around the area.

The German soldiers attacked on the days that were most important to the Jewish people, which was an advantage because, the Jews were trying to celebrate these days as much as they could. The Germans eventually captured ZOB headquarters. This was a huge disadvantage for the Jews.

Reasons for liquidation of Warsaw Ghetto

The commander of the German division that attacked Warsaw Ghetto wanted to impress Adolf Hitler on his birthday. He wanted to liquify the Ghetto so that his boss would be proud and want to improve his rank. The ultimate reason why the Ghetto was crushed.

Months ahead of the battles against the Nazis the Resistance dug holes and put bunkers in. They also put bunkers in attacks and basements that were open. This helped them take shelter from the fighting and for the injured to get better.

“It is impossible to put into words what we have been through. One thing is clear: what happened exceeded our boldest dreams. The Germans ran twice from the Ghetto.” (M. Anielewicz)

Resistance fighters initial plans

The Resistance fighters initially planned hand to hand combat like with knives and sharp objects used to fight up close. They wanted to pick the Germans off one by one so that the Germans would gain many casualties. These were the plans that were the Resistance's plans to begin with, but it did not turn out the way they wanted It to turn out.

Resistance attempts

The Resistance of Warsaw Ghetto wanted many things to happen that didn't go their way. Such as trying to contact the Polish underground military. Which didn't work, because the Polish underground military was to afraid to go out and help the Resistance. If the Polish Underground Military would've helped the Resistance probably would have a better chance at defeating the Nazis.

"It is impossible to describe the conditions under which the Jews of the Ghetto are now living. Only a few will be able to hold out." (M.Anielewicz)

The Jewish people's intentions to fight

The Jewish Resistance wanted to protect their future generations. They wanted to fight so that their bloodlines and children could live to see another day. They intended to slow the Nazis down and to help set the Jews free from the horrible hands of the Nazis.
