Abstract:
Discusses the situation of the ca. 50,000 Jews who remained in the Warsaw ghetto after the Great Deportation of July-September 1942, when 265,000 Jews were sent to Treblinka, 11,000 were sent to labor camps, and another 10,000 were killed on the spot. The ghetto basically became a labor camp, divided into three parts according to the various workshops, with living conditions even worse than they were before. Many of the Jews felt despair at having lost loved ones and guilt for not saving them. While there was a rise in drunkenness, sexual promiscuity, and theft in the ghetto, organizations were also established to help the poorer inhabitants and those who lived there illegally. Youth movement leaders like Mordechai Anielewicz, who returned to the Warsaw ghetto in fall 1942, were able to organize their members into effective resistance groups. These groups now received popular support, since the Jews realized they would probably all be killed, and they were able to carry out the first acts of armed resistance during the deportations of January 1943.
