Best Answer

In the concentration camps, during the Jews' allotted resting time of a few minutes, during Hanukkah, they would sometimes sit down and reminisce about how their fathers/mothers lit the menorah. Some Jews did not celebrate it at all. It must be kept in mind that they were in horrifically inhumane conditions in the concentration camps and had virtually no materials at all. Nonetheless, there are some poignant true stories about the few who did manage to light some form of impromptu menorah, against all odds.
