Jews Against Hitler (Not As A Lamb) - The Seminal Work on Jewish Resistance by Lucien Steinberg

Jews Against Hitler (Not As A Lamb) - The Seminal Work on Jewish Resistance by Lucien Steinberg describes the history of Jewish resistance against Hitler and the Nazis. The book is divided into geographical sections on different countries and the various activities that the Jews participated in everything from resistance fighting to handing out propaganda pamphlets. The author does an excellent job exploding the myth of Jewish passivity to the Holocaust.

One criticism often when Jews that collaborated with the Nazis are mentioned their names are not used. Suffice to say it seems problematic if there's enough material to identify then they're not going to have a case for libel.

An excellent book recommended.

Is available through Abebooks.
