Many European Jews fought back against their mistreatment by the Nazis during the Holocaust of the 1930s to mid-1940s. Underground groups formed, and armed resistance took place, in both the ghettos where Jews were forced to live and in concentration camps. The 1942-43 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest single partisan group resistance during World War II, was one of several such uprisings. And resistance in concentration camps took various forms, ranging from alleviation of suffering, and cultural activities to a few instances of armed revolt.
