Hitler killed 6 million Jews. Did they ever resist him?

Question

almost all freedom loving nations resist Hitler one way or another. What happened with Jews?

Answer 1

He confiscated all their firearms and told them to move to the ghetto. The jews couldn't fight back without guns.

Answer 2

Yes. At least in the Warsaw Ghetto. See the following.

On January 18, 1943, the first instance of armed resistance occurred when the Germans started the second expulsion of the Jews. The Jewish fighters had some success: the expulsion stopped after four days and the ŻOB and ŻZW resistance organizations took control of the Ghetto, building dozens of fighting posts and operating against Jewish collaborators.

During the next three months, all inhabitants of the Ghetto prepared for what they realized would be a final struggle. The final battle started on the eve of Passover, April 19, 1943. Jewish partisans shot and threw grenades at German and allied patrols from alleyways, sewers, house windows, and even burning buildings.

The Nazis responded by shelling the houses block by block and rounding up or killing any Jew they could capture. Significant resistance ended on April 23, and the uprising ended on May 16. During the fighting approximately 7,000 of the Jewish partisans were killed and 6,000 were burnt alive or gassed in bunkers.

The remaining 50,000 people were sent to German death camps, mostly to Treblinka extermination camp.

Answer 3

Yes the Jews resisted Hitler, just like other people all over Europe. Many Jews as well as gentiles were in resistance groups of different kinds, and with varying degrees of success. Why wouldn't they? Very few Jews were pacifists in those days. Of course not everybody resisted. The Nazis were clever, and often persuaded their future victims that there was nothing to be afraid of. Remember how Hitler persuaded Neville Chamberlain (British gentile) that Germany posed no threat to Britain, then attacked shortly thereafter? The same tactic was used on the Jews: don't resist, and nobody gets hurt. Some were fooled, others not.

Answer 4

There as been a question for years concerning the Jews. The question is, did six million people die at the hand of Hitler?

There is no question Hitler did in fact murder Jews, he murdered more than just Jews alone.

The Jews at the very end started fighting using old out dated weapons. It was to late, but least they did try to defend themselves.

Have you ever compared Hitler actions with what is happening in the United States today?

Answer 5

Jews have always been historically pacifists. But after the establishment of the nation of Israel, they had to change to become both vigilant and aggressive. The Seven Day War, the raid on Entebbe and others things have shown that they could fight, and their Intelligence Service is one of the best and most effective in the world...but sadly they didn't resist Hitler...too much old thinking. Even in Russia, the Jews did not resist. In America, the only aggressive Jews are those of celebrity status and mostly it is only lip service.

Answer 6

Martial Law means search and seizure of all firearms. They had no guns by the time they realized they were being exterminated. Most of them cooperated but there was a resistance here and there. The resistances put up good fights and they died with honor fighting for the right to live. they took a few Nazi's out in the process. I am going to stand up and keep my firearms if we ever go on Martial Law and if you are smart you won't give away your only means of protection. There are 100's of FEMA camps(Concentration camps) right here in the USA. They are equipped with gassing chambers and crematoriums. There is one just outside of Denver Colorado that is equipped with a microwaving facility. Doesn't that strike you as scary? When the time comes will you resist or will you cooperate? There will be Genocide of all Christians and Jews and anyone else who is a threat. They are ready get rid of us and they have everything they need to do it. Am I crazy? Maybe but I'll be ready will you?

Answer 7

The Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto held out longer than the entire country of France. I suggest you read your history. There were also Jews in the resistance of many countries, but sometimes they were turned over to the Nazis by anti-Semitic members of that resistance. Many European people including Poles, Ukrainians and Romanians, in particular, helped the Germans kill the Jews instead of resisting them. Only Bulgaria did not allow the Germans to kill the Jews.

Answer 8

the Jews resisted via money ...they purchased the WAR bonds issued in Russia .... They are cowards and don't face to fight. That's whay we now have 15 Israeli soldiers killed in the battlefield in Lebanon - against 15 children killed while being hugged by their mothers ... the killer is an Israeli pilot with an american-made jet and smart bomb.

AND BY THE WAY:

1- this number 6 millions is too much exaggerated ... as far as i know , they were no more than 200 thousands.

2- Why would you call them (resistants) not terrorists as they now coin the Palestinians??

Answer 9

Your statement including the number "6 million" is incorrect.
I wondered about it myself. In the library, I happened to find a 1929 Almanac. I added the Jewish population for the major European nations, and the TOTAL did not reach 6 million.

While the Jews decry the action taken against them during the Third Reich, they feel free to deny the rights of the Palestinians and Lebanese, justifying such action with racial hatred.

Answer 10

there was no jewish nation then. the jews had been divided up in what is called the diaspora, and there were jewish communities within almost all nations of the world. that meant that when the nazis invaded the countries neighboring germany, they would just round up the local jews into a ghetto and then deport them in batches to the camps. it would be very much like having the police kidnap you to be murdered. there was a famous uprising in the warsaw ghetto. all the poles fought like devils when hitler invaded: i do not know how anyone can compare the war we fight now to ww2. this is why the holding of people at guantanamo and the abu graib photos unnerved me so. it is easy to slip into murder by bureaucracy.

Answer 11

The Jews he murdered were German, Polish and French private citizens. They didn't have an army......it would be like if the police came to your house tonight and sent you to a concentration camp. What could you do?
They did resist during the Warsaw ghetto uprising, heroically, but they were crushed.
