Jewish Resistance

Jews were the nazis primary victims they  resisted nazi oppression in a variety of ways both collectithey joined Soviet partisan units or formed separate partisan units to harass the German occupiers. and as individuals Thousands of young Jews resisted by escaping from the ghettos into the forests. Jewish prisoners rose against their guards at three killing centers. such as Jewish council chairman Moshe Jaffe in Minsk, resisted by refusing to comply when the Germans ordered him to hand over Jews for deportation in July 1942.

two things that shocked me is that Jewish resistance have survived the Holocaust, documents and testimony show that resistance was not as uncommon as is evident and that Jewish resistance leading up to and lasting throughout the Holocaust included a multitude of different social responses by those oppressed
