What was the name of the largest Jewish uprising against Nazi Germany during World War II?

The largest Jewish uprising against Nazi Germany during World War II was the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. It began on 19 April 1943, when German forces entered the Warsaw Ghetto to deport its remaining Jewish population. Jewish fighters resisted with limited weapons and improvised defenses.

The uprising was organized mainly by the Jewish Combat Organization, known by its Polish initials ŻOB, and the Jewish Military Union. German forces eventually destroyed the ghetto and deported or killed most of its inhabitants. The fighting ended in May 1943, after the Great Synagogue of Warsaw was deliberately blown up.

The uprising was not a conventional military victory. Its significance lies in the decision of many trapped Jews to resist deportation and mass murder, despite overwhelming German force. Some fighters escaped through sewer routes, while others continued underground resistance outside the ghetto.

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is sometimes confused with the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, a separate Polish revolt against German occupation. The two events occurred in the same city but involved different organizations and dates.
