That is an excellent point!

Some did, but not most.

There was some who escaped the camps as well. And would those who went into the woods to hide count as well?

Yes, running away and hiding definitely count. It means they did whatever they could to save themselves. And some of those people did manage to survive.

and gays, artists, and other intellectuals. 5 million. Still want to see them included in your holocaust poles GA.

Nicole and pompous, I did a poll on non-Jewish victims. It was the second in my series, on 5/29.

Pompous, I see that I credited 3 other people for the idea, but neglected to credit you. I apologize for that.

The reason I specifically only mentioned Jews in this poll was to counter what some people say, that Jews were too meek about being victims.

Other victims included homosexuals, handicapped, mentally ill, gypsies, Poles, Slavs, Communists, ...

... Jehovah's Witnesses and more. Please look at my poll history to find it. :)

Yes

There were many pockets of resistance. People couldn't do much, but they did what they could.

Thanks! This ends the series, but obviously, it doesn't end my interest in the subject.

Yes.

... the period of the Holocaust included:

- attempts to escape from the camps
- cultural resistance (keeping up education and religion in the ghettos)
- running away and hiding from authorities

- the Partisans (loosely organized militia groups who fought back)

I have a friend who's grandfather tossed his children out the apartment window to waiting arms so they would survive. He also survived.

Good!

Have you had the opportunity to visit her house?

Yes. We were in Amsterdam two summers ago and we visited the Anne Frank house. Very interesting to see.
