The Nazi Holocaust. Part 6 The Victims of the Holocaust. Volume 1

A collection of articles which examine the response of the Jews to persecution by the Nazis. Some writings contend that the Jews responded passively but other reports and studies of victims have stressed their creative and resourceful strategies for survival. Selected articles discuss both sides of this argument in this volume.
