Annual Summer Institute for Educators: Resistance During the Holocaust

Between 1933 and 1945, a variety of groups, resisted the Nazi regime, both in Germany and in German-occupied territory. Resistance usually refers to a physical act of armed revolt. During the Holocaust, it also encompassed partisan activity; the smuggling of messages, food, and weapons; sabotage; and actual military engagement. Resistance may also be thought of as willful disobedience, such as continuing to practice religious and cultural traditions in defiance of the rules or creating art, music, and poetry inside ghettos and concentration camps. For many, simply maintaining their humanity, personal integrity, dignity, and sense of civilization in the face of Nazi attempts to dehumanize and degrade them was an act of spiritual resistance.
