Ghetto uprisings were armed revolts by Jews and other groups incarcerated in German Nazi ghettos during World War II against the plans to deport the inhabitants to concentration and extermination camps.
Some of these uprisings were more massive and organized, while others were small and spontaneous. The best known and the biggest of such uprisings took place in Warsaw in April 1943 (Warsaw Ghetto Uprising), but there were also other such struggles in other ghettos.
