When Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel was asked why Jews did not fight during the
Holocaust, he replied "...the question is not why all the Jews did not fight, but
how so many of them did. Tormented, beaten, starved, where did they find the strength-spiritual
and physical-to resist?"
Just a reminder, I am going to see "Defiance" on Monday at 4:20 PM at Premiere Theater. If you want to go, you are welcome to. It is certainly not required. If you do go, or if you have seen the movie on your own, I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

I think what Elie Wiesel said made alot of sense. The Germans did such a good job of demoralizing the Jews and physically destroying them that they did not have the will power or energy to physically fight back. However, surviving showed that they did fight. The survivors fought back by simply living through the evil thrust upon them and that in some ways might be the most powerful form of defiance.
