	Warsaw Uprising
		Warsaw surrounded by the Soviet Army and in the city the uprising.

	Warsaw 1943 In Perspective
		Another image that is often invoked as "proof" of the alleged widespread insensitivity of the Polish population of Warsaw to the fate of the Jews is that of Poles enjoying themselves on a merry-go-round the Germans erected near the ghetto wall.
		An undetermined number of Jews hiding in Warsaw died during the Warsaw Uprising in August and September 1944, sharing the fate of the population of the fighting and then destroyed city.
		The main obstacles to Jewish survival in Warsaw are seen to have been the Hotel Polski trap and the 1944 uprising and its aftermath, rather than the possibility of discovery or betrayal.

	Warsaw Pact - a brief description
		The Warsaw Pact is the name commonly given to the treaty between Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet Union, which was signed in Poland in 1955 and was officially called ‘The Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation and Mutual Assistance’.
		Nominally the Warsaw Pact was a response to a similar treaty made by the Western Allies in 1949 (the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, or NATO) as well as the re-militarization of West Germany in 1954, both of which posed a potential threat to the Eastern countries.
		Although it was stressed by all that the Warsaw Treaty was based on total equality of each nation and mutual non-interference in one another’s internal affairs, the Pact quickly became a powerful political tool for the Soviet Union to hold sway over its allies and harness the powers of their combined military.

		During the uprising, he was appointed Minister of Transport and Communications and in this capacity he supervised the widening of roads of strategic importance to Soviet troops for their transit through Romania.
		Romania's strategic position, flanked as it was by other Warsaw Pact states, made it a safer proposition for the Soviet Union on security grounds for a troop withdrawal, and any fears about Romania's reliability as an ally had been dispelled by its actions during the Hungarian revolution.
		Ironically, it was the Warsaw pact invasion of Czechoslovakia in August 1968 which allowed Ceauşescu to discover that appeals to national sentiment were an efficient mechanism of social control and personal dictatorship.

	Uprising: Frequently Asked Questions on the Holocaust
		Jews were no less prone than other segments of the population that Germany controlled to offer resistance and indeed the forces in Warsaw put up a fierce struggle and held out for weeks against overwhelming odds.
		The phrase "do not go like sheep to the slaughter" was first years by resistance leader Abba Kovner who sought to shake the Jews out of their complacency in Vilna (contemporary Vilnius, Lithuania) in 1942.
		It was a poetic, polemical call to arms, not an actual description of Jewish behavior.

		It would seem that it was you who has exhibited a preposterous lack of historical knowledge by automatically assuming that just because I speak of some uprising in Warsaw it must have been the one in the Ghetto.
		The Ghetto uprising, though a noble feat, was enacted by a small band of desperate young Jews who did not want to go like lambs to slaughter.
		The Warsaw uprising encompassed the entire city and its whole population, and in terms of the casualties and military operations was vastly bigger than the Ghetto one.

	Who Defended The Warsaw Ghetto? (Moshe Arens) May, 2003
		The revolt, the first uprising against the Germans in World War II, and the most prominent act of Jewish resistance to the German slaughter of the Jews of Europe, has become a symbol of heroism.
		On August 1, 1942, while the liquidation of the Warsaw Ghetto was already in progress, Gerhard Riegner, the representative of the World Jewish Congress in Switzerland, learned from a German industrialist that Hitler had ordered the extermination of the Jews of Europe, and that they were to be gassed.
		Yet the story of the heroic struggle in the Warsaw Ghetto, the myth of Jewish heroism that has captured the imagination of so many, has left little room for the participation of the fighters of the ZZW in the revolt.

	The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, by Marek Edelman
		These factors will perhaps best explain why our activities in the first period after the fall of Warsaw were mainly of a charitable nature, and why the first instinctive acts of armed resistance against the occupying forces occurred comparatively late and, in the beginning, in such insignificant forms.
		The purpose of the billeting arrangement was to prevent the groups from being taken by surprise by new German regulations, as had happened before, and to accustom the partisans to military discipline, military ways, and a continual use of their weapons.
		Those who were killed in action had done their duty to the end, to the last drop of blood that soaked into the pavements of the Warsaw ghetto.

		The Warsaw Uprising of 1944, always a topic of passionate discussion, has already been the subject of many books and other publications.
		These works, however, have dealt primarily with the political and military aspects of the insurrection, and hence there has been a tendency to forget that nearly one million people, mainly civilians, were caught in insurgent Warsaw and virtually entombed there.
		For sixty-three days the inhabitants of Warsaw lived in difficult, dangerous and desperate conditions.
