Jewish Resistance
There were many attempts to resist the Nazi overtake from the Jews. Jewish civilians fought back with armed resistance in over 100 ghettos. In April-May 1943 there was a big revolt from the Jews that lived in Warsaw because of rumors rumors that the Germans would take the remaining Jews to the Treblinka killing center. They fought back with a few firearms and Molotov cocktails. The Jews put up a fierce fight but they failed to hold off the German army. Some Jews survived by escaping to the forest. Jews also rose against guards in camps also but they could not overpower the Nazis. One plot to overthrow the Nazis was when five women supplied explosives to blow up the crematorium but it was a fail and the women were all latter killed.

That is so sad that all they wanted is to be left alone and to be treated right like other people. It is great that they tried to fight back, even if they did fail when they were fighting it but it still showed that they were ot going to give up without a fight.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting summary. No one usually tells about how the Jews tried to escape. It's sad that the women were killed for trying to help their people escape.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad that no matter what they done that they coldn't get away from the German armies. You have a couple misspellings that you might want to look back at.
ReplyDeleteI had never really known there was a Jewish resistance; to me I can't believe they tried to fight back at all.
