Summary
Examining Jewish resistance in the Holocaust, dismisses the view that the Jews went to their deaths "like sheep to the slaughter". In the early stages of the Holocaust, resistance was passive, mainly a struggle for physical survival in the ghettos. In later stages, Jews took to armed resistance: uprisings in ghettos, partisan warfare, etc. Dwells on the role of the Judenräte in the struggle for survival, and the dilemmas with which Jewish leaders were confronted.
