Poland Lives

[Aedes]

Baltar, not sure if you're planning on expanding on the story more, but there are some pretty dramatic autobiographies and accounts of people who took part in the uprising. My grandparents, who survived the Lodz ghetto in Poland, say that you could make a 2 hour movie out of every 2 hours they spent during the Holocaust. Real life is usually more stark and dramatic than fiction. Try not to make generic fictional characters when this historical event is already so full with rich and unforgettable real characters.

I'd caution you to make sure that you're completely accurate about the history if you're going to write a historical fiction piece about something that's still in living memory. For instance, you mention Auschwitz but the fact of the matter is that most of the Jews from Warsaw who died in death camps did not die in Auschwitz, they died in Treblinka.
