August 19, 1943 marks the day when Nazis surrounded the ghetto and the battle for the Warsaw Ghetto began. Around 2000 Germans surrounded the ghetto with heavy machinery. They were surprised by the resistance encountered by the 700-750 Jewish fighters which held the ghetto. In a letter before his death during the Uprising, Anielwicz wrote: My lifes dream has been realized. I have lived to see Jewish defense in the ghetto rally its greatness and glory.
