  6. Jewish Uprisings • Even in the extermination camps, Jews rose up and fought against the Nazis. At Treblinka in August 1943, and at Sobibor in October 1943, small groups of Jews revolted. They killed guards, stormed the camp armories and stole guns and grenades, and then broke out. In both uprisings, about 300 prisoners escaped; most were killed soon after. Of those who survived, many joined up with partisan groups and continued to fight until the end of the war. • Late in August 1944, prisoners at Auschwitz revolted too; most were caught and killed. Young women like Ella Gartner and RozaRobota made the Auschwitz uprising possible. Gartner smuggled gunpowder in to the camp and Robota helped organize resistance in the camp. Both were executed for this, less than one month before Auschwitz was liberated.
