  • Jewish Resistance during Nazi Germany.
    • Sobibor uprising
      • Sobibor was a death camp in Poland.
      • In total an estimated 170,000 to 250,000 people were murdered at Sobibor.
      • On October 14 1943, prisoners in Sobibor killed 11 members of the camp's ** staff.
      • Close to 300 prisoners escaped, by breaking through the barbed wire.
        • At least 100 others were caught and killed during the massive manhunt conducted by the **.
        • Out of the 200 escapees who were not immediately caught, only about 50 survived the war.
      • Resistance was sparked by the fact that less people were being sent to the gas chambers.
        • This created a rumour among the prisoners that the killing centre would soon be destroyed  and all the prisoners would be murdered.
      • The uprising began around 4:00 in the afternoon of October 14, 1943.
      • Soon after the uprising Sobibor was dismantled including  the killing facilities and all evidence of what really happened.

        • Despite facing machine guns, several hundred prisoners managed to escape the deadly camp.
          • More than half were then traced and killed by the Nazis.
      • The uprising brought Treblinka to an end.
        • Only 67 people are known to have survived the camp.
