Revolt Attempt #1
The main goals of the revolts were to organize uprisings, break out of the camps, and join partisan units in the fight against the Germans. Under the most adverse conditions, Jewish prisoners succeeded in initiating resistance and uprisings in some Nazi camps. About 1,000 Jewish prisoners participated in the revolt in Treblinka. On August 2, 1943, except only about 200 made the escape (But the Germans captured and killed about half of them) -
Revolt Attempt #2
On October 14, 1943, prisoners in Sobibor killed 11 SS guards and police auxiliaries and set the camp on fire. About 300 prisoners escaped. The prisoners that were escaping risked their lives around the minefield surrounding the camp. About 100 were recaptured and later shot. -
Revolt Attempt #3
In 1944, Prisoners assigned to Crematorium 4 in Auschwitz- Birkenau rebelled. They rebelled after learning that they were going to be killed. The germans crushed the rebels, and killed almost all of the involved people. -
Successful Revolt (Lipowa Street labor camp)
Despite being vastly outgunned and outnumbered, some Jews resisted the Germans with force. The spirit of these efforts transcends their failure to halt the genocidal policies of the Nazis. The Lipowa Street labor camp in Lublin was a successful rebellion.
