Uprising 2001

The film begins with the German invasion of Poland in 1939, leading to the forced relocation of Polish Jews into the Warsaw Ghetto. The Jewish council, or Judenrat, led by Adam Czerniaków, faces impossible moral dilemmas as they are ordered to send Jews to extermination camps like Treblinka. As deportations escalate, a group of young Jewish leaders, including Mordechai Anielewicz and Yitzhak Zuckerman, organize the Jewish Combat Organization (ZOB) and prepare for armed resistance. The uprising begins in April 1943, with fighters using homemade weapons and defensive bunkers to hold off thousands of German troops. ​⁠
