Religious Jews captured by the SS during the Warsaw ghetto uprising. The Warsaw Uprising was a massive attempt by the Polish Home Army to defeat the Wehrmacht and SS Occupation towards the end of WW2. The Poles were unsupported by the Allies and by Stalin and the uprising was doomed to failure. The Polish fought hard and well and held out for two months. The human cost was huge - estimates give 15000-17000 polish and 10000-14000 Geman fighters dead as well as 150,000-200,000 civilians killed in mass reprisals. Around 85% of Warsaw was reduced to rubble.
