Warsaw Ghetto uprising

Witness History: World War Two history

In May 1943, the uprising in the Jewish Ghetto in Warsaw in Poland came to an end.

The Germans had crushed the uprising and deported surviving ghetto residents to concentration camps.

Simha "Kazik" Rotem was one of the Jewish fighters who survived to tell his story.

He spoke to Louise Hidalgo in 2010.
