Jewish resistance to Nazi oppression took many forms. The armed uprisings in the ghettoes and camps are the most well-known examples of resistance, but these uprisings could not have happened without the many other types of resistance that occurred beforehand. Using the Warsaw Ghetto as an example, this course will look at the different types of unarmed resistance that took place, the barriers to resistance that existed both within and outside of the Jewish community, and ultimately the armed uprisings in the ghettoes and the camps. As we move through the course, we will see similarities and differences between the types of resistance during the Holocaust and various resistance movements of the present day.
