[[Waffen SS]] soldiers and elements of the Sicherheitsdienst 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, SS forces destroyed the ghetto and its synagogue.
