“There were innumerable acts of resistance by Jews against their tormenters” Name them. They were very pacifists in nature as they are today.
Well, let me tell you a little about my father's family. My grandfather, who had been an officer in the Austro-Hungarian army in WW1 and had fought the Soviet invasion of Poland in 1921, hid his pistol when the Soviets invaded in 1939. He took this gun with him to the ghetto when the Nazis came and rounded up Jews. He could have escaped with his wife and children, but instead tried to save as many Jews as possible. He set up a factory in the gymnasium/private high school to make packing material and covers for german weapons, in the hope that the Wermacht would save "useful Jews". He also used the factory as a way point in smuggling Jews out the ghetto, often stealing gasoline and borrowing a car to do so. Eventually the SS did find out, but my family just managed to escape, but could not take out more as they had hoped. (There is a lot more to this.) They were smuggled to partisans and my grandfather, my uncle (16) and father (10) took up arms against the Germans. My father was too small to effectively use a gun, but he was a look out and saboteur.
So do you dare try to tell me what we are and are not.
