During World War II, the Holocaust, also known as the Shoah, was a genocide of European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its allies murdered around six million Jews in German-occupied Europe, accounting for roughly two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. During the Holocaust, the Jews had several ways of fighting the Germans, and they were undoubtedly the most vocal opponents of the killing.

Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its allies murdered around six million Jews in German-occupied Europe, accounting for roughly two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population. When World War II broke out, the Jews of Germany were subjected to increased persecution, deportation, and, eventually, mass slaughter. In total, between 160,000 and 180,000 German Jews were slaughtered by the Germans and their collaborators during the Holocaust, including the majority of those deported from Germany. Between 1939 and 1941, Jews were systematically deported and stripped of their property and employment opportunities. Only approximately 16 percent of Jewish breadwinners had permanent employment by early 1939.

Despite the fact that Jews were the Nazis' principal victims, they fought back in a variety of ways, both collectively and individually. Approximately 100 Jewish ghettos in Nazi-occupied eastern Europe created underground resistance organisations between 1941 and 1943. Their primary objectives were to organize uprisings, break out of ghettos, and join partisan units fighting the Germans. After hearing that the Germans were planning to send the remaining ghetto residents to Treblinka, Jews in the Warsaw ghetto rose up in armed uprising in April-May 1943. Thousands of young Jews fought back by fleeing the ghettos and hiding in the woods. They joined the Soviet Union there.]]> 2022-04-29 14:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164408482 3555591 https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164409405 https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/jewish-resistance]]> 2022-04-29 14:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164409405 3555591 https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164413745 Anne Frank, a Jewish adolescent, kept a diary of her family's two years in hiding (1942–44) during the German occupation of the Netherlands during World War II, and the book—first published in 1947, two years after Anne's death in a concentration camp—became a classic of war literature, humanizing the Holocaust. Anne Frank stayed in the Secret Annex for 761 days. Life in the Secret Annex had a particular routine, despite the fact that each day was different from the last. We can reconstruct what normal weekdays and Sundays in the Secret Annex would have been like based on Anne's journal and a couple of her short works.]]> 2022-04-29 14:37:55 UTC https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164413745 3555591 https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164415164 https://www.annefrank.org/en/anne-frank/go-in-depth/typical-day-secret-annex/]]> 2022-04-29 14:38:45 UTC https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164415164 3555591 https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164421764 Following the liberation of Nazi concentration camps, many survivors were forced to live in displaced persons camps, where they had to wait years before being able to emigrate to a new country. Due to wartime violence and antisemitism, many people were afraid to return to their previous homes. It was usually difficult or dangerous to seek sanctuary in other nations. At first, obtaining a visa to enter another country was quite difficult. Thousands of homeless Holocaust survivors traveled westward to other European regions liberated by the western Allies, with few options for emigration. They were held in hundreds of refugee camps and displaced persons (DP) camps around Europe, including Bergen-Belsen in Germany. These camps were run by the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA) and the occupying armies of the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. Following their freedom, many Jews moved to the United States.]]> 2022-04-29 14:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164421764 3555591 https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164422611 https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-aftermath-of-the-holocaust]]> 2022-04-29 14:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/3555591/k7l7fpzp4d5z1pus/wish/2164422611
