In concentration camps, prisoners often resorted to various forms of resistance to cope with their dire circumstances, including acts of sabotage, clandestine gatherings, and maintaining cultural practices to preserve their identity. Some individuals, like the Jewish resistance groups, organized uprisings or smuggled information to the outside world.

Despite the oppressive environment, these acts of defiance illustrated the resilience of the human spirit.
