Jewish resistance against the Nazis took several forms including armed and non-violent such as moral, spiritual, economic, cultural and political resistance. Their core objectives were to organize uprisings, escape from the ghettos, and join partisan units in which they would fight against the Germans.
One example of armed resistance included the retaliation incidents at Treblinka in August 1943 and Sobibor in October 1943. Jewish prisoners were able to acquire stolen weapons and attacked the Schutzstaffel (a major paramilitary organization under the Nazi party) staff and the prison guards.
Examples of non-violent resistance included secret movements which founded soup kitchens to aid the survival of Jews, recording of the events which took place to preserve evidence of the Nazis crimes. The Jews in the camps were able to organise clandestine Jewish cultural institutions and prohibited religious rites as a way to preserve their history, dignity and communal life of Jewish history.
