The first example I will talk about is a very famous story known all over the world. This story is an exa

Another example of a non-Jew risking their lives to save Jews is a businessman named Oskar Schindler. Oskar Schindler was more of a protector of the Jews during the Holocaust than a resistor. Schindler was born in Svitavy in the Sudetenland, and moved to Krakow in late 1939 in the wake of the German occupation of Poland. There he took to previously Jewish owned firms dealing with the manufacturing of enamel kitchenware products one of which he operated directly for the Nazis. Later, Schindler established his own factory in Zablocie, outside of Krakow, in which he then employed mainly Jewish workers, therefore protecting them from deportation. When the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto began in 1943, many Jews were sent to the Plaszow labor camp most known for the brutality of its commandant, Amon Goeth. Schindler used his connections with high-ranking Nazi officials in the Armaments Administration to set up a branch of the Plaszow camp in his factory for some nine hundred Jewish workers. These actions spared hundreds from the horrors of the Plaszow camp. In October 1944, with the approach of the Russian army, Schindler was granted permission to reestablish his factory to make armaments in Brunnlitz and take the Jewish workers from Zablocie with him. In doing this, Schindler saved seven hundred men from the Grossrosen camp, and some three hundred women from the notorious Auschwitz camp. Once in Brunnlitz, Jewish workers were treated with the most humane care possible under the circumstances. People like Schindler put their lives forward to save at the time what was considered "rats". At one point in time he was caught being nice to a Jew and he was sent to jail.

Partisan warfare, a major type of resistance that affected the war, is like guerrilla warfare. Guerrilla warfare is war of the weak against superior forces that have heavy and sophisticated arms at their disposal. Then again, guerrilla forces usually have the advantages of familiarity with the area, the sympathy of the population, and the ability to employ hit - and - run tactics. Polish partisans frequently operated in units that were called out for a specific mission or for a period of training. When the mission was accomplished or the training period was over, they returned to their homes and civilian pursuits. They used the same methods to vanish from the scene when the Germans combed the forests in their search for partisans. It has been asked why the Jews did not organize a guerrilla movement of their own, independent of the Allies and of other national partisan organizations. Various answers to this question have been suggested. The Jew who went into the forest was not a fighter who left parents and relatives behind in a safe home, having made a personal decision involving only him. Such a Jew was leaving behind his immediate family and his community with fear in his heart, certain that he would never see them again. Non - Jewish partisans went forth to do their patriotic duty in the knowledge that they had the support of the Allies, a supporting country, or a government - in - exile on whose behalf they were acting. Such partisans could approach a farmer and request food and intelligence as fellow citizens; if they were handed over or betrayed, they would be avenged. Not so the Jew; he was a stranger, he was persecuted, and he had a chance of surviving in the forest only as part of a broad framework, as a fighter in a large general unit or in a Jewish unit integrated into a larger formation. Moreover, the individual Jew or group of Jews who sought to join up with an existing partisan formation had special obstacles to overcome. They had first to escape from a ghetto and locate a partisan base in the forest, and even when they finally joined a partisan unit they were not put on an equal footing with the other fighters. In countries outside Eastern Europe, the Jew who wanted to join the partisan forces faced a different situation. In the Balkan states (Yugoslav
