ABSTRACT
The vexed question of resistance during the Holocaust is the focus of this chapter. Among the issues to be examined will be the variegated nature of Jewish resistance in the ghettos, forests, and camps; the organization and functioning of resistance movements (particularly in Western Europe) in which Jews participated; and the role and operations of non-Jewish resistance movements in relation to the alleviation of Jewish distress during the war years. A box will examine a case study of a resister who commanded a partisan unit in Poland during World War II.
