This reader seeks to redress the imbalance by looking at resistance from the perspective of the victims, almost exclusively Jewish and, in some cases, female. Their resistance embraces a variety of actions and movements, passive and active, performed by individuals, groups and nations. Leading scholars from a wide range of disciplines - including anthropology, history, politics, and sociology - supply us with engrossing accounts of individual resisters, family groups, movements, and the resistance of entire nations. Contributions cover:- Primo Levi and Survival in Auschwitz - The Auschwitz Children's Camp- The Warsaw Ghetto Youth Movement- Intermarriage in Nazi Germany- Jewish Women in the French Resistance- Foundations of Resistance in German-Occupied DenmarkThis book places the fact of Jewish resistance in a new light and represents an important sourcebook on studies of the Holocaust, German and Jewish history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Resisting the Holocaust' is a fine, academic study, by no means the first, showing the reality of Jewish resistance, and disputing the stereotype of the passive Jew.” —\u003ci\u003eJewish Chronicle\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Ruby Rohrlich has given an immense service to this and future generations: her immaculate scholarship and her wide spectrum of interest has gathered together an archive of extraordinary value.” —\u003ci\u003eFeminist Theology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“A short review cannot begin to do justice to the ... thought-provoking articles in the volume, which deserves to be on any recommended reading list in a Holocaust studies course.” —\u003ci\u003eStudies in American Jewish Literature\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This is an important work, one that will help considerably in countering . . .historical nelect [of the topic of resistance]” —\u003ci\u003eH-NET Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Rohrlich's selection of essays . . .
