Publisher's Synopsis

The Fighting Ghettos is a historical account written by Meyer Barkai that chronicles the Jewish resistance movements during the Holocaust. The book focuses on the ghettos of Eastern Europe, which were established by the Nazis to isolate and control Jewish populations.Barkai describes the brutal conditions within the ghettos, including overcrowding, starvation, and disease. Despite these challenges, Jewish resistance fighters organized themselves and fought back against their oppressors. The book details their efforts to smuggle in weapons, establish underground networks, and stage acts of sabotage.The author also highlights the role of women in the resistance, who played a crucial role in smuggling weapons and supplies, as well as gathering intelligence. The book also includes firsthand accounts of survivors who participated in the resistance movements.The Fighting Ghettos sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of the Holocaust and provides a powerful testament to the bravery and resilience of those who fought against oppression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
