greydee: The Warsaw Jews were overcome by the Germans. The difference is the men on Bataan fought with determination; most of the people in the Warsaw ghetto just died. The men on Bataan made a difference in the war while the Warsaw ghetto is a foot note in history.

False dichotomy, as well as a false implied equivalency, tho the defense at bataan had a larger impact on the war of course.
An expanding & fresh invading japanese army overcame an allied trained & equipped army at bataan in the phillipines, while the jewish ghetto was comprised of largely jewish civilians who were undernourished, demoralized, & vastly underarmed due the nuremburg law of 1935 {as well as the waffengesetz of 1938}.
To argue the jewish warsaw ghetto massacre was due to a lack of arms is simply a page out of the 2nd Amendment Mythology Bible.
Behold, Greydee, how the jewish actually lasted about 10 days longer than bataan:

The Battle of Bataan (7 Jan – 9 April 1942) was a battle that represented the most intense phase of Imperial Japan's invasion of the Philippines during World War II. General Douglas MacArthur, consolidated all of his Luzon-based units on the Bataan Peninsula..

warsaw ghetto, wwII: Jan 18, 1943, the Germans suddenly entered the Warsaw ghetto.. Within hours, some 600 Jews were shot and 5,000 others rounded up.. final battle started on the eve of Passover of April 19, 1943, when a Nazi force consisting of several thousand troops entered the ghetto... Significant resistance ended on April 28, and the Nazi operation officially ended in mid-May, symbolically culminating with the demolition of the Great Synagogue of Warsaw on May 16. entered the Warsaw ghetto intent upon a further deportation. Within hours, some 600 Jews were shot and 5,000 others rounded up..

The surrender at Bataan, with 140,000 soldiers surrendering in the Philippines altogether,[1] was the largest in American and Filipino military histories, and was the largest United States surrender since the American Civil War's Battle of Harper's Ferry.
