~We have been learning about the second stage of the Holocaust and how the Germans and Nazis isolated the Jews of Europe from the outside world. The purpose of this isolation was to eliminate as many as possible before they figured out a final solution for the removal of Jews from Europe. After all the Jews of Poland were herded into small sections of large cities, a wall or barrier was constructed. The food supply was slowly cut off along with electricity, fuel, medicine, and water. Disease spread quickly as did starvation. After more than 2 years of watching their fellow Jews die and be sent off to other places, roughly 60, 000 Jews decided to rise up. They fought the German Army and fought back for over a month. They held off the German Army longer than the Polish Army, French Army and Dutch Army. This gave hope to many Jews across Europe.
