Best Answer

The Warsaw Ghetto was an excellent example of militant resistance, though rare because of the lack of arms there are other examples. Evasion by heading to the woods or to Sweden or elsewhere was very common and very dangerous, it required outside help to increase the chances of survival. Some managed to ransom there way out, but the Nazis could rarely be trusted.

There was no armed Jewish resistance in Western Europe but some Jews were active in various resistance movements in occupied countries. In Eastern Europe there was the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and there were uprisings and mass break-outs in Treblinka and Sobibor. There was also a group of Jewish resistance fighters in Lithuania and also in Belarus. There were, of course, also some individual acts of resistance and defiance.

PUBLIC-They had hunger strikes, and raids.

SPIRITUAL- They painted, wrote poems/stories, and sang hope songs, like the African-American slaves did.

___

There no record of any Jewish 'hunger strike' or 'raid'... In fact, there is considerable debate about how much resistance there was. Once they were actually inside concentration camps there was very little opportunity for resistance of any kind.

-------------------

In most of the camps there was a resistance committee, often resulting in escapes. There were very few uprisings, the most notable ones being Sobibor and Auschwitz.

But resistance took on many forms, it started with a simple 'go slow' where people would try to work and move slower, this was dangerous as they risked being beaten (to death). Other forms would include theft, bribery and vandalism.

In Western Europe they were well integrated and also scattered and did not resist. In some parts of Eastern Europe there were uprisings in some of the ghettos and in a few areas of the Soviet Union some Jews formed groups of guerrillas, but these were small.

There is quite a debate about how much resistance there was from the Jews. (Please see the related question).

Obvious examples include the uprisings in the Warsaw, Bialystock and Vilnius ghettos, the revolts of the Sonderkommando at Auschwitz II and the mass break-outs at Treblinka and Sobibor.
