Resistance to the Holocaust took on many forms. Learners explore the passive and active resistance of Jewish people who continued their practices and observances, as well as organized resistance against the evils of the Nazis. An interesting resource allows young scholars to consider the meaning of resistance using primary sources, such as written testimonies from Holocaust survivors, video clips of survivor interviews, and discussion activities.
