The second largest ghetto in Warsaw.
On 16 August 1943, as a news of the Germans' planned final liquidation of the ghetto, the Uprising in the Białystok Ghetto began. The ghetto in Białystok, created by the Germans on July 26, 1941, was intended for Jews from Białystok and surrounding areas. About 42,000 people were present.
80 years ago, about 300 judaic Insurgents took on an uneven fight against the German gendarmerie. This was the second largest, after the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, in the armed conflict of the judaic population against the occupier.
On 16 August 1943, the Uprising in Getta bBiałostock began as a news of the Germans' planned final liquidation of the ghetto. Unlike in Warsaw.
The ghetto in Białystok, created by the Germans on July 26, 1941, was intended for Jews from Białystok and surrounding areas. About 42,000 people were present. It is worth noting that in pre-war Białystok the judaic population was 43 percent of the population.
After the russian business of this city in September 1939, this number increased to include Jews arriving from the territory of the General Government.
Białystok passed into German hands in June 1941. Already the first period of Nazi business was bent by about 5,000 Jews.
Professor Grzegorz Berendt spoke about ghettos and judaic revolts in occupied east areas of the II Republic:
“In the judaic district, which was separated from the remainder of the city by a three-meter barrier topped with barbed wire, 50,000 people were crowded. Almost immediately after closing the ghetto, conspiracy cells began to form there. Left-wing organizations have established the United Anti-Fascist Block. Jews with right-wing views focused on an organization called Second Block.
Unlike underground judaic organizations from Warsaw, representatives of groups with different political sympathy in Białystok managed to scope a consensus. Unity took place in March 1943. A period earlier, the first anti-German armed actions of judaic conspirators took place in the ghetto, which the Germans bloodyly suppressed."
The summertime of 1943 is the time for the Germans to prepare for the final liquidation of the Białystok ghetto. The closed section was surrounded by a tight cordon of German soldiers armed with device guns. Support was waiting in the form of tanks and artillery.
The operation was to be led by specially brought in experts from "eliminating actions". Among them, Franz Konrad, who participated in the pacification of the Warsaw ghetto.
The head of the Białystok Gestapo Fritz Friedl, who testified after the war before the court, was liable for the liquidation of the ghetto, saying that “he never insulted any Jew.”
15 August 1943. The Germans ordered a collection of all Jews at Jurowiecka Street for the next day. It was a direct impulse to start the uprising. Germany was known to be planning a final export.

INSTANCES
Mordecai Tenenbaum, a associate of the ŻOB came from Warsaw, and a communist Daniel Moszkowitz, took the lead. Their plan was to breach the ghetto barrier on Smolna Street and break through German positions to the Knyszyńska Forest. There the insurgents were to search refuge.
GETTA AFFAIRS AND A FIGHT OF RESTERS
The arithmetic of the clash was inexorable. 300 judaic insurgents were armed with 26 rifles, including 1 device gun, about 100 guns and Molotov cocktails.
Several times more well-armed German soldiers and gendarmes stood against them, who could number on the support of tanks and artillery.
The civilian population of the ghetto did not join the uprising. All this caused that the main tactical goal of the rally – the attack on Smalna – failed.
Heavy fighting lasted 24 hours. For the next 3 days, the Rising reached its highest at single opposition points.
Both leaders – Tenenbaum and Moszkovich – were most likely killed by suicide on the last day of the rally. fewer insurgents managed to break into the surrounding forests.
The pacification of the Uprising on 20 August 1943 allowed the Germans to complete the work of the liquidation of the Białystok ghetto. 40,000 remaining Jews were taken to the extermination camps Treblinka II and Auschwitz-Birkenau.
Of the nearly 50,000 Jews surviving before the war, respective 100 survived.
This was the second biggest bustle of the judaic community during planet War II. On Wednesday (16.08. 2023) the Bialystok people celebrated the memory of the victims of the Uprising in the Belarusian Ghetto in 1943, led by Daniel Moszkiewicz and Mordecai Tenenbaum.
Let us remember the Heroes of the Uprising in the Białystok Ghetto with the leaders of MORDECHAI TENENBAUM and DANIEL MOSZKOWICZ.
