Summary/Abstract: The Jewish armed resistance in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising became a symbol of Jewish bravery for the Jewish people and the world. Many artists, those who were born in Warsaw or Poland, artists who experience the Holocaust in other locations, and other artists with no personal connection to the Holocaust, referred to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in private and public artistic expressions. The artists understood the moral value, significance, and importance of it as a historical event and portrayed it with pride and admiration. The various artistic representation of the symbolic Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was shown as the extolled chapter in the sequence of the Jewish fighting against the Nazis in the ghetto. This chapter presents the fabric of the artistic representations of the active behavior of males and females who fought against the Nazis.
