Description
Describes the largest mass revolt in a major city in German-occupied Europe and the defining symbol of Jewish resistance to Nazi oppression in World War II. Shows in detailed chronological fashion the underground activity which eventually laid the groundwork for the organization of armed resistance, largely by the leaders of youth movements. He offers an account of the uprising itself led by the underequipped and outnumbered Jewish resisters who struggled to exact revenge and to die with honour
