Plot summary
Germany invades Poland in September 1939, and a regulation orders all Polish Jews to move into a new ghetto in Warsaw. Adam Czerniaków heads the Judenrat appointed to administer the ghetto and carries out the German authorities' orders. About half a million people are crowded into an old slum district with too little space and plumbing, where hunger and disease spread. A group of Jews decides to resist rather than help in the murder of fellow Jews, and Mordechaj Anielewicz and Yitzhak Zuckerman found the Jewish Combat Organization. Czerniaków objects, fearing German reprisals.
