After the Warsaw resistance, ghettos decided to start fighting back.

Rather than take a dangerous stance and confront their prosecutors, most Jewish leaders decided to form a secret resistance inside the ghetto. This secret resistance kept their religion and culture alive within their confined walls. The ghetto councils organized secrets schools and classes for children. And even though Nazis attempted to suppress their religion and culture, ghetto residents held services and put on plays and concerts.

Many people worked in factories, quarries and mines. The angry Jews who worked in these areas slowed down their work or even did a bad job to get "revenge" on the Nazis who put them to work. Unfortunetly, the Nazis found out about some parts of these acts. Some Jews got away with this, for example, some Jews left the power on the electrical connections very low so when electricity was used it would be low or wouldn't work. For those who did get caught, punishment was brutal

Once it became very obvious that all Jews were under a sentenced of death, resistance became more common. While prisoners in the camps were getting prepared for armed resistance they faced many difficult problems . Trying to smuggle in arms (weapons and ammunition) and training fighter under the ghettos conditions. Smuggling in arms while Nazis are observing every one of your moves will not be easy. Training people who are unskilled under low standard conditions will take a lot of effort.

The Bone Crushing Machine was a contraption that crushed the bones of victims' corpses to hide evidence of the Nazi army's doings. Jew workers degraded it by hammering screws into the machine rather than using screwdrivers. Small tweaks weren't noticed by the Nazis in charge of the workers, but the machine did give way much faster. Another example is concrete filling. Structures that were meant to be filled with a strong concrete mix were filled with weak concrete, causing such structures to be frailer.

Many people tried to leave by saying they aren't Jewish, sadly the Nazis have records of past family members and if a certain amount of your family before you have marks showing they are Jewish, you will as well be considered a Jew. Once you are known as a Jew, your not only locked in camps but items are placed on you and your clothing to show you are not a regular person.

One of the spots a group of Jews was brought to looked peaceful, and a quiet place with many trees and area to walk, it didn't take very long for the Jews to realize they were basically at a  death camp. There was no point in running, if there is an attempted escape, guards are permitted to shoot. Due to their weakness and low energy, they couldn't even run very far anyways.

The most famous ghetto resistance is known as the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, April 19- May 16, 1943. More than 300,000 Jewish people were transferred from Warsaw to Treblinka. Word got back to Warsaw of a mass murder. Because of this, a surviving group of young people formed an organization called the Z.O.B (for the polish name Zydowska Organizacja Bojowa, which means Jewish Fighting Organization), led by Mordecai Anielewicz. in January 1943, Warsaw ghetto fighters fired upon German troops, who eventually retreated. This Jewish win inspired the ghetto fighters to prepare for future resistance.

On April 19, 1943, the Warsaw ghetto uprising began after German troops and police entered the ghetto to deport its surviving inhabitants. Seven hundred and fifty fighters fought the heavily armed and well-trained Germans. The ghetto fighters were able to hold out for nearly a month, but on May 16, 1943, the revolt ended.

Prisoners in every concentration camp were extremely hungry, tortured, and abused. For many Jews, the act of spiritual and cultural resistance was the only way to refuse Nazi tyranny. Spiritual resistance means that the Jews are trying to sustain their humanity and dignity even if the Nazis try to dehumanize them. Spiritual and cultural resistance consists of cultural and educational activities and maintaining their religion a secret by holding secret ceremonies

How comes Jews could just go to another area? If they could leave they would, but the Nazis barely fed all Jews. This caused them to be very weak with little energy. Also, when the Nazis took families away from their homes, they didn't get to bring most of their valubles. The only clothes that they were able to bring ended up being stitched with a yellow star that said Jude. (Jew in German) This star shows all people, Nazis, guards etc that these are the people different from everyone else.

The Jews in a field of working resisted the Nazis by slightly damaging working machines, or intentionally working inefficiently and slowly. Some Jews purposely degraded some products and machines by rough handling fragile parts, or loosened electrical cords to make a product more likely to give way quickly. Although several serious accidents caused by these adjustments were punished; the working Jews continued to resist.

Individuals & Groups
Many ordinary people, across all countries of Europe, showed courage in helping the Jewish victims of Nazi persecution. Most of these individuals went undocumented and they were not rewarded; nevertheless, these brave heroes helped by providing hiding places, false papers, food, clothing, money, contact with the outside world, underground escape routes and sometimes even weapons. If caught the gentiles could be tortured, executed, deported or put in concentration camps.

Mass Rescues
Spectacular  mass rescues  also occurred,  for example, the Swedish rescue of Danish Jews in October 1943 saved more than 7,000 lives. Similar rescue operations also occurred in Italian occupied Greece, where they would smuggle Jews into neutral Turkey . Similar popular aide for the Jews occurred in Holland, Finland, and even in the Italian army. Partisians, or resistance groups helped as well. In Yugoslavia, Serbian partisans attacked a concentration camp in 1941, freeing a small number of Jews; the Belgian resistance helped several hundred Jewish deportees escape Nazi persecution during the course of the War. Perhaps the most unusual case of gentile aide for the Jewish occurred in the Bialystok ghetto, where several anti-Nazi German and Austrian soldiers were sentenced to death for smuggling weapons and wireless sets to the Jewish resistance.

Religious Responses

Despite the Vatican failure to act, many priests, nuns, and laymen hid Jews in monasteries, convents, schools, and hospitals and protected them with false baptismal certificates. Some clergymen went to great lengths to protect the Jews' education and their right of their beliefs. Catholic, Protestant, Quaker, and Unitarian relief organizations cooperated with the Catholic church in France to rescue 12,000 Jewish children; they arranged safehouses and smuggled small numbers into Switzerland and Spain.I n addition to active help, many clergymen also protested the mistreatment and deportations of Jews as violations of divine and human laws.
