Publisher's Synopsis
The Fighting Ghettos by Meyer Barkai is a historical account of the Jewish resistance during World War II. The book focuses on the ghettos in Eastern Europe where Jews were forced to live in cramped and unsanitary conditions. Despite the overwhelming odds against them, many Jews organized and fought back against their oppressors. Barkai chronicles the various forms of resistance, including armed uprisings, sabotage, and underground networks. He also examines the role of women in the resistance and the importance of cultural activities such as theater and music in maintaining morale. The book provides a detailed analysis of the political and social factors that led to the creation of the ghettos and the eventual extermination of millions of Jews. It also highlights the bravery and resilience of those who fought back, even in the face of certain death. Overall, The Fighting Ghettos is a powerful and moving tribute to the human spirit and a reminder of the atrocities committed during one of the darkest periods in human history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
