| Summary: | Some seventy-five years after the events of the Holocaust, we are still learning more about this tragic period. Patrick Henry's edited volume on Jewish resistance against the Nazis is a rich and powerful contribution to Holocaust scholarship. Written to help counter the prevailing myth of Jewish passivity during the Holocaust—a myth that Henry describes as “simply unconscionable” (p. xx)—this impressive collection of essays by prominent researchers provides detailed examinations of a wide array of Jewish resistance activities. In treating the cases with sound scholarly attention, the volume also acknowledges the persistence of the belief that Jews meekly accepted their fate and went to their deaths “like sheep.”, The volume is admirable in its breadth. |
