Host Toivi says: Because of deceptive tactics of the Nazis and lack of weapons and infrastructure Host Toivi says: All of the underground organizations in occupied Europe had support from the governments in exile, only the Jews were alone. Host Lisa_Katz says: that is a very nice and concise answer to why the Jews did not fight back. would you also say that Jewish culture played a role. maybe Jews were used to being accommodating?

Well anyway, in the movie in the beginning there is a Rabbi that is shot in the head for saying that the Reich will go away like dust. Was this really true - was he really shot?

Host Toivi says: In America, there was strong resistance, but it took time to overcome. MSS8 says: Did you think you might be shot if you revolted and what steps did you take to avoid being caught?
