The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising has become a symbol of heroism throughout the world. Despite that, the generally accepted story of the uprising is incomplete. Among the ghetto fighters was a group that was not granted commemoration: The Jewish Military Union (ZZW) which was better armed than other groups fighting in the rest of the Ghetto and was responsible for the major and the most stubborn battles of the uprising. Based on the documentation of SS General Juergen Stroop, the movie reveals the untold truth, that was kept hidden for almost a century.
