This exhibition, devoted to the Jewish uprising in the Warsaw
ghetto, is to a great extent the heart of the Ghetto Fighters' House
museum. Its narrative unfolds on three levels: the story of Warsaw's
ghetto, the story of the armed uprising in the ghetto, and the
personal story of Yitzhak (Antek) Zuckerman and Zivia Lubetkin, who
were among the leaders of the Jewish underground, the uprising, and
founders of Kibbutz Lohamei Haghetaot and the Ghetto Fighters' House.
