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."--Publisher's description. 520 0 $a 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. * 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. 611 07 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00958866 611 27 $a Jews rescue (1939-1945 : World War) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710189 611 27 $a World War (1939-1945) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01180924 650 0 $a Holocaust, Jewish (1939-1945) $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Underground movements $v Biography. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Rescue $x Rescue $v Biography. 650 7 $a Underground movements, War. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355184 650 7 $a Judenvernichtung $0 (DE-588)4073091-8 $2 gnd 650 7 $a Widerstand $0 (DE-588)4079262-6 $2 gnd 655 7 $a Biography $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423686 941 $a 1 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829014140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3D4B22ACFC1D11E7842A9F4C97128E48 994 $a Z0 $b IX2Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
