Despite the overwhelming military strength of the German
forces, many Jews, while weakened by hunger and
terrorised by Nazi brutality, nevertheless rose in revolt
against their fate, not only in many of the ghettos in
which they were forcibly confined, but even in the
concentration camps themselves, snatching from the very
gates of death the slender possibility of survival.

This map shows twenty of the ghettos and five of the
death camps in which Jews joined together and sought,
often almost unarmed, to strike back at their tormentors.
These twenty-five uprisings are among the most noble and
courageous episodes not only of Jewish, but of world
history.
