This book questions the validity of this widely held assumption, arguing that rather than making empty claims about Jewish passivity or heroics during the Holocaust, a systematic comparison of Jewish and non-Jewish resistance is needed. Using firsthand accounts and interviews, the book examines the four main settings of the war - ghetto, concentration camp, forest and countryside, and the Aryan world - and describes what life was like for Jews and non-Jews in each.
