Jewish armed resistance during the Holocaust has been amply
documented, debunking the stereotypical view of the Jews as passive
victims of Hitler and the Nazis. The stories of the revolts in a
number of ghettos and camps have been told and retold. Jewish
participation in partisan activities has been fully recorded. There
is another form of resistance, spiritual in nature, which has yet
to be fully documented. Spiritual resistance was expressed on an
organized communal level, maintained to thwart the Nazi intention
of dehumanizing their Jewish victims. The victims responded by
initiating religious, educational, and cultural activities in an
organized manner. These activities were both open and clandestine.
In addition, many individuals expressed themselves through their
writings. To Live with Hope, To Die with Dignity, based principally
on materials created and activities conducted in the ghettos of
Warsaw, Vilna, Lodz, Kovno, during the Holocaust, concerns itself
with this particular aspect of the Holocaust tragedy.
