Wasn’t there only pistols and molitov cocktails that held off the nazis in the Warsaw ghetto?

Not a good example considering the fact that the vast majority of the residents of the Warsaw Ghetto did not survive.

The story is documented in Leon Uris book “Mila 18”...well worth the read....imho one of the greatest books ever written...

...and to answer your question....they also made bombs to blow up the Nazi’s....

The Nazi’s eventually overwhelmed them...but they paid a heavy, heavy price...

At a Holocaust seminar I went to once I heard that the total number of firearms they started with was 11 of various types.
