What were conditions like in the Warsaw ghetto?

Jews living in Warsaw had been living in deplorable ghetto conditions for a few years and they finally chose to revolt on April 13, 1943. It was mostly the young people in the ghetto who attacked their Nazi captors with homemade weapons and held out until May 8 when the SS attacked the group's leaders who were either killed or committed suicide. By May 16, the Jewish district in Warsaw was obliterated.
