A Alemanha invade a Polônia em 1º de setembro de 1939 e isto marca o início da 2ª Guerra Mundial. Em menos de um mês a Polônia se rende e logo surge uma lista crescente de proibições e regras, que levaram ao virtual aprisionamento de meio milhão de judeus-poloneses em uma parte velha de Varsóvia, que ficou conhecido como o "Gueto de Varsóvia". O lugar logo se mostrou inadequado para alojar tantas pessoas. Além disto a comida era muito escassa, pois os nazistas reservaram para si 2617 calorias por dia, os poloneses tinham direito a 699 e os judeus apenas 184.

Vendo que suas mortes eram apenas um questão de tempo, os judeus, liderados por Moredecai Anielewicz , fizeram a única coisa que os nazistas nunca esperaram: revidaram.
