The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising—the largest Jewish-led armed rebellion during World War II—began #OTD in 1943. For almost a month, ghetto inhabitants fought off their Germans captors, hid in bunkers, and resisted deportation.
During the uprising, Estelle Laughlin hid with her family in a bunker. They were eventually discovered and deported to the Lublin-Majdanek concentration camp, where Estelle's father was murdered. Estelle, her mother, and her older sister survived the Holocaust.
