| Summary: | Zionist youth movement leaders in many ghettos in Eastern Europe assumed communal leadership at the stage of revolt. The continuity of leadership in these movements, together with their being cut off from the guidance of adult advisors and emissaries from Palestine, helped the movements develop independently. Their increasing communal involvement, together with their accurate understanding of the all-inclusive intent of the Nazi murder operations begun in 1941, led them to offer the ghetto populace an altermative to the policies aimed at an illusory survival. They offered armed resistance, without rescue, knowing that it was no way for survival. |
