Mila 18

Mila 18 was the secret code name for a Jewish resistance group based in the Warsaw Ghetto during World War II. In 1943, as Nazi forces planned a final crackdown on the ghetto, the group organized a bold, armed uprising to resist deportation and destruction. Although ultimately overwhelmed, Mila 18 symbolized courage and defiance against oppression. The name references a specific building in the ghetto (18 Mila Street), which served as the group's headquarters. The uprising was one of the largest acts of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust, highlighting the resilience and bravery of those fighting against unimaginable persecution.
