Summary:

This volume puts to rest the myth that the Jews went passively to the slaughter like sheep.Indeed Jews resisted in every Nazi-occupied country - in the forests, the ghettos, and the concentration camps.The essays presented here consider Jewish resistance to be resistance by Jewish persons in specifically Jewish groups, or by Jewish persons.
