'''Resistance: They Fought Back'''

Is a film about the [[Holocaust]].

Spirirual resistance.  Preserving the memories like a nessage in a bottle and being kind to each other. Fighting to keep traditions against all odds.

Physical resistance was punishable by the [[Nazis]] murdering other Jews and no one had any idea that the goal was extermination.  

No [[Jews|Jew]] imagined that.

At the end, in 1945, only 11% of European Jewish children that were alive in 1939, survived.

The first stage was starvation and humiliation. Breaking the people. 


Overview.

"Interviews with historians, Holocaust survivors and their families reveal the largely unknown stories of Jewish resistance fighters who engaged in armed uprisings against the Nazis."

''People have a myth stuck in their heads that during the Holocaust, Jews went to their deaths “like sheep to the slaughter.” But this is where the real story begins. Jews did not go as sheep to the slaughter. They fought back.''

Synopsis.

We've all heard of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, but most people have no idea how widespread and prevalent Jewish resistance to Nazi barbarism was. Instead, it's widely believed "Jews went to their deaths like sheep to the slaughter." Filmed in [[Poland]], [[Lithuania]], [[Latvia]], [[Israel]], and the [[U.S.]], Resistance: They Fought Back provides a much-needed corrective to this myth of Jewish passivity. There were uprisings in ghettos large and small, rebellions in death camps, and thousands of Jews fought Nazis in the forests. Everywhere in Eastern [[Europe]], Jews waged campaigns of non-violent resistance against the Nazis.</blockquote>
