They did the one thing the Nazis never expected. They fought back.After Germany invades Poland in 1939, the Nazis decree that 350,000 Warsaw Jews be forcibly moved into an area known as the Warsaw Ghetto. Idealistic teacher Mordechai (Hank Azaria) decides the Jews must rise up against the Nazis and creates the Jewish Fighting Organisation (JFO). Determined to mobilise a resistance against the Nazis, Mordechai recruits his friends (David Schwimmer, Sadie Frost, Donald Sutherland) who are determined to live with honour, die with honour and provide hope for those fighting in other German-occupied territories.
