(As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.)

On May 16, 1943, the Germans finally destroyed the last remnant of resistance by the Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto.   They had begun their revolt in April 19, when they heard news that they were to be liquidated.  It was not just a battle of defiance; it was a battle of survival.

There are several books depicting the Warsaw Ghetto, but it’s different when it is felt through the visual medium.   So, here is a collection of films about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising:

 1. The Pianist

-Although it chronicles the story of Warsaw throughout the war, but not only does it tackle the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, but also the later uprising of 1944.
