This book enables readers to learn about upstanders, partisans, and
survivors from first-hand perspectives that reveal the many forms
of resistance-some bold and defiant, some subtle-to the Nazis
during the Holocaust. What did those who resisted the Nazis during
the 1930s through 1945-known now as "the Righteous"-do when
confronted with the Holocaust? How did those who resorted to
physical acts of resistance to fight the Nazis in the ghettos, the
concentration camps, and the forests summon the courage to form
underground groups and organize their efforts? This book presents a
comprehensive examination of more than 150 remarkable people who
said "no" to the Nazis when confronted by the Holocaust of the
Jews. They range from people who undertook armed resistance to
individuals who risked-and sometimes lost-their lives in trying to
rescue Jews or spirit them away to safety. In many cases, the very
act of survival in the face of extreme circumstances was a form of
resistance. This important book explores the many facets of
resistance to the Holocaust that took place less than 100 years
ago, providing valuable insights to any reader seeking evidence of
how individuals can remain committed to the maintenance of
humanitarian traditions in the darkest of times. Provides readers
with insights into how and when resistance activities took place
during the Holocaust-historical information that is both deeply
saddening and inspirational Documents the myriad ways in which
upstanders sought to minimize the worst effects of Nazi anti-Jewish
measures Explains how those who came to be recognized as the
Righteous among the Nations engaged in their life-saving work
Supplies document introductions and scholarly analysis that help
readers to better understand the primary source material as well as
a comprehensive bibliography that serves as a gateway to further
research
