These stories have not been told until now, and each case is one of many. Wolf Gruner shows this by resurfacing similar accounts of Jewish refusal to accept persecution and violence in Germany and Austria between 1933 and 1943, upending the notion of passive Jews and expanding the concept of resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach individual described here represents a category of resistance: written opposition, oral protest, contesting Nazi propaganda, defiance of anti-Jewish laws and measures, and self-defence against physical attacks. Many of these courageous acts resulted in the resisters being prosecuted and put on trial, often receiving harsh punishments. Some, however, led to acquittal by courts and others to changes in Nazi policies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaken together, these accounts reframe our understanding of German Jewish attitudes during the Holocaust, while also providing an astonishing examination of the complex Nazi reactions to the many individual acts of Jewish resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000727716076,"sku":"9780300267198","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/24669723482294.jpg?v=1763300857"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/wolf-gruner.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
