What is the Holocaust and how does the Jewish resistance connect to the Holocaust?
The Holocaust was a movement lead by Adolf Hitler of Nazi Germany that murdered millions of Jews.

The Jewish Resistance was an armed force that opposed German policies and armies in German-occupied Europe. The Jewish Resistance fought with German policies and German SS in over 100 ghettos. The most popular Jewish Resistance revolt being the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The Jewish revolts across German-occupied Europe forced Germany to send superior forces to control the Jewish Resistance. In some cases it took German forces more than a month to end some revolts. The Jewish Resistance allowed for several Jews to escape prosecution and help weaken Germany's power.
