Holocaust resistance  

Definición

  • The Holocaust, the calculated and mechanical Nazi extermination of Jews, political dissidents, criminals, homosexuals, and any other group that the Nazis took to be a danger to their racial and ideological purity, occurred roughly during the span of World War II, though instances such as Kristallnacht that took place prior to the war should be taken into account. From the uniqueness of the Holocaust as an historical phenomenon arises the question what exactly is meant by resistance. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Holocaust, Resistance]
