The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is one of history's most powerful acts

Joshua M. Greene (Signs
of Survival) tells the true
story of a young Jewish woman who was instrumental in the uprising
as a smuggler of messages and weapons into and out of the Warsaw
Ghetto.
Warsaw, Poland, 1940s: The Nazis are on the march, determined
to wipe out the Jewish people of Europe. Teenage Vladka and her family
are among the thousands of Jews forced to relocate behind the
walls of the Warsaw Ghetto, a cramped, oppressive space full of
starvation, suffering and death.
When Vladka’s family is deported to concentration camps,
Vladka joins up with other young people in the ghetto who are part
of the Jewish underground: a group determined to fight back against
the Nazis, no matter the cost.
Vladka’s role in the underground? To pass as a non-Jew,
sneaking out of the ghetto to blend into Polish society while smuggling
secret messages and weapons back over the ghetto wall. Every
move she makes comes with the risk of being arrested or killed.
But Vladka and her friends know that their missions are worth the
danger –they are preparing for an uprising like no other,
one that will challenge the Nazi war machine.
This astonishing true story of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, told
through the lens of Holocaust survivor and educator Vladka Meed
Introduces readers to a crucial piece of history while highlighting
the persistence of bravery in the face of hate
