Jewish fighters held the Warsaw Ghetto four weeks in spring nineteen forty-three; prisoners rose in two camps. In summer forty-four Hungary's Jews, over four hundred thousand, were gassed at Auschwitz. In early forty-five the SS marched survivors west. The Soviets reached Auschwitz in January.
In practice
The Holocaust ended because the war ended.
