Several days before the final suppression of the rebellion and shortly after the destruction of the Command Bunker , a rescue operation was carried out , during which about eighty Jewish fighters were transferred to a so-called Aryan section of the city and taken to safety . The event was organized by Yitzhak Zuckerman and Simcha Rotem . Although the Germans planned to destroy the ghetto within three days , the struggles lasted for four weeks and they did n't suppress them definitively until May 16 , 1943 , when Operation Commander Jürgen Stroop symbolically ended the explosion of the Great Synagogue in Warsaw . Yet , after many months , the remaining surviving Jews were attacking German patrols . Most of those who managed to escape from the ghetto became guerrillas , but were often shot or committed suicide to avoid capture . Many of them later fought alongside the Poles during the Warsaw Uprising in 1944 . According to an official German report , written by Stroop , the German army captured 56,065 Jews and destroyed 631 bunkers . He estimated that 7,000 Jews died during the rebellion , and another 7,000 German authorities deported to Treblinka . The remaining Jews , around 42,000 , were deported to Majdanek , Poniatowa , Trawniki , , and Kraśnik camps . With the exception of several thousand prisoners in the Budzyń and Krasnik camps , the remaining Warsaw Jews from other camps were murdered in November 1943 , during Aktion Erntefest
