I wondered why the Jews didn’t fight the Nazis, so I looked it up. The idea that Jews didn’t resist the Nazis is a misconception. Jewish resistance took many forms, from armed uprisings like the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to acts of defiance within concentration camps. However, the Nazis used extreme violence, deception, and psychological tactics to suppress resistance. Many Jews were misled about their fate, believing they were being relocated rather than sent to death camps. Others faced impossible choices, with families threatened and communities devastated.
They fought, but it wasn’t enough.
Fifty years from now, will our ancestors be living in autocracies ruled by cruel dictators and wonder why we didn’t fight harder? Will they wonder why we didn’t recognize the obvious evils and fight harder against them? People are already being dragged off to concentration camps in foreign countries without even a hint of due process. Nine to Zero Supreme Court decisions are now being laughed at and ignored by the current regime.
“All that is required for evil to win is for good people to say nothing.”
Stand up. Say something. Like our fine neighbors in Canada say, “Elbows up.” “Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night.” Fight the tyranny now, while it can still be stopped. Don’t make your children and grandchildren wonder why you let it happen.
Peace & Love, and all of the above,
Earl
