Conclusion

Gene A. Plunka

pp. 207-210

There was no unified resistance movement during the Holocaust. Non-Jewish resistance was typically fueled by the savagery of the Nazis, the severity of the genocide, and the degree of economic exploitation in each country. However, there was non-Jewish resistance in every German-occupied country in Europe. Jewish resistance was also widespread and was more typically related to issues concerning survival, dying with dignity, and the need to bear witness. It began with rescue operations and eventually led to armed combat.
