Deifiance and Cionsequences

Defiance and its Consequences

Although Jews were very good and sneaky when they disobeyed the rules, some did get caught. One way that they disobeyed was that they kept a diary, which wasn’t allowed. They also held secret religious services. These acts of defiance had its consequences, however. If people tried to kill Nazis or injure them, they would be killed if they were caught. If people hid from the Nazis and got found, they were also killed. Even if they got caught sneaking into other countries, they got shot. Death, as you can see, was the main consequence. Germans wouldn’t go down without a fight.

Types of Resistance

Throughout Germany, millions of Jewish people resisted against the pure-blood Germans. There were many different kinds of resistance, however. It could be from as little as hiding children, all the way up to killing guards and Nazis. As you know, they did get punished for it, but it was worth it. Armed resistance was a huge deal. “Over 750,000 Jews died at a Treblinka camp between July 1912 and November 1943,” [according to Resistance During the Holocaust web page.] these deaths were mostly made happening because Germans were fed up with Jews resisting at death camps.

Bombing of the Crematorium

Aside from being sent to the ghettos, Jews were also sent to crematoriums where they would be killed. The Jewish wouldn’t take that, though. They came up with a plan to bomb a crematorium. It was fool proof to them. They went through with their plan and it worked. They bombed one of Auschwitz-Bireneau’s four chambers. It all took place on October 7, 1944. It is a very well-remembered day in history today. It was a very amazing experience as Jews spoke out against Hitler’s crimes. The holocaust is and always will be one of the saddest, yet one of the most important events in world history, in my opinion.
