In many ghettos Jews rebelled against the Germans with small arm fire. Between 1941 and 1943 underground resistance against the Nazis started in 100 ghettos in eastern Europe. Weapons were smuggled to fight the Nazis and free Jews. Rebellions happened in Vilna, Mir, Lachva, Kremenets, Czetochowa, Nesvizh, Sosnowiec, Tarnow. Even extermination camps suffered rebellions famed ones like Auschwitz-Birkenau. The question I wondered for years is were there Jewish rebels fighting the Nazis. Yes there was many rebellions in 1941 and 1943. Now I have my answers I am happy that many Jewish people were able to fight for their freedom.
