The German soldiers sought to clear the ghetto of 60,000 Jewish residents in only three days.  But the resistance fighters held off the Nazis for nearly a month, marking the first time in [[World War II]] that there was an uprising against Nazis in territory under German control.  Eventually the German army destroyed the ghetto and its synagogue.
