Holocaust: The systematic deportation of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto begins. As ordered on July 22, 1942, mass deportations of the inhabitants started; in the next 52 days (until September 21, 1942) about 300,000 people were taken to the Treblinka extermination camp. During the remaining days of July, the Jewish Ghetto Police were responsible for carrying out the deportations, a total of 64,606 Jews were transported to the death camps that month. From August onward, the Germans and their allies took a more direct role in the deportations, with over 135,000 Jews deported in August alone. The final phase of the first mass deportation happened between September 6 and September 11, 1942, when 35,886 Jews were deported, 2,648 were shot on the spot and 60 committed suicide. After this selection approximately 55,000 to 60,000 Jews remained alive in the Ghetto, either working in German factories within the Ghetto or living in hiding.

During the next six months, what was left of several political organizations was brought together under the name ŻOB (Żydowska Organizacja Bojowa, Jewish Fighting Organization), headed by Mordechai Anielewicz, with 220-500 persons; another 250-450 were organized in the ŻZW (Żydowski Związek Walki, Jewish Fighting Union). The members of these groups had no illusions about the German plans and wanted to die fighting. Their armament consisted largely of handguns, homemade explosives and Molotov cocktails; the ŻZW was better armed as a result of better contacts to the Polish underground outside the ghetto.
