At the start of WWII. the Jews of Europe were not prepared for armed resistance against the Germans and their collaborators. Armed resistance by Jews, prior to the Holocaust, had been the exception, not the rule. Once the Jews in the ghettos and the concentration camps understood the German plan of annihilation, they began to resist, which took many forms spiritual, moral, individual, collective, and finally armed resistance. Dr Avital's collection presented in this volume makes it very clear that side by side with submission by millions of Jews, there was defiance, sacrifice, courage, and heroism. Dr. Avital's observations and conclusions are delivered with poignancy and authority supported by his first hand experiences as a Holocaust survivor. Book is important and collectible. SIGNED by the author.
