action

In 1942 Poland has been under the control of the National Socialists for three years . The Jews from Warsaw were sent to the Warsaw Ghetto set up for this purpose . There they live in inhumane conditions and the occupiers rule with brutal arbitrariness. In addition, soldiers of the Wehrmacht and the SS penetrate the cordoned-off area every day and round up people. Then they are systematically deported to the Treblinka extermination camp , including the mother and sister of the almost 20-year-old Tosia Altmann. She therefore joins the ŻOB , a Jewish resistance organization headed by Mordechaj Anielewicz .

Together they take up the fight against the hated occupiers, and there is finally an uprising in the Warsaw ghetto . The desperate struggle to save themselves from deportation is brutally suppressed, and the survivors are either shot or taken to Treblinka. Only a few escape the genocide, including Tosia. However, a week later she was arrested by the Gestapo and died in their custody, while others continued the fight underground and survived the war despite everything. Jürgen Stroop , the person responsible for suppressing the uprising, was sentenced to death and executed in Poland after the war.
