La Resistencia
Las condiciones inhumanas en que los judíos vivian en la Europa ocupada por los nazis, llevaron a muchos a participar en la resistencia armada. Esta resistencia incluyó revueltas armadas en los guetos, campos de concentración y gurerrillas partisanas. La rebelión del Gueto de Varsovia, que duró alrededor de cinco semanas, es probablemente el ejemploy más conocido. Dentro de los guetos y de muchos cmapos de concentración, los judíos resistieron los esfuerzos para deshumanizarlos, preservando su humanidad, mediante el rezo, el estudio, actividades culturales, y tratando de mantener limpeiza dentro de la suciedad imperante. En los campos, algunos resistieron a pesar de sus debilidad física. Aquellos que lobraban escapar y unirse a los partisanos lucharon valientemente contra los nazis.

The Resistance
The horrendous conditions to which Jews were subjected to in Nazi-occupied Europe led many to engage in armed resistance against the Nazis. This included armed ghetto revolts, resistance in concentration, labor and death camps, and partisan warfare. The Warsaw Ghetto uprising, which lasted about five weeks, is probably the best known example of armed Jewish resistance. Everywhere, in the ghettos and camps, unarmed Jews resisted efforts to dehumanize them by praying, studying, maintaining cleanliness in the midst of filth, and by engaging in cultural activities. In the camps, many Jews resisted the Nazis despite their physical weakness. Those who managed to escape and reach the partisans, fought valiantly against the Nazis.
