Why didn’t the Jews join forces to resist before they were massacred?

Now when we look at the history of World War II, whether it is graphic materials or video materials, we will be shocked by the Jewish Holocaust. As the darkest act of massacre during World War II, the Jews in Europe can be said to be both sad and pitiable. There is a saying in China that "poor people must be hateful!" The reason why the Nazi SS dared to massacre Jews unscrupulously during World War II was because they took a fancy to the weakness of the Jews who did not dare to resist. According to statistics, as many as six million Jews were massacred during World War II, almost dozens of times more than the number of German SS soldiers. Why don't they join forces to resist?

To be honest, it is not that the Jews have never resisted. After the German army occupied Poland in 1939, a Jewish ghetto was built in Warsaw, the capital of Poland, to guard Jews in preparation for execution. By July 1942, the total number of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto reached half a million. In 1941, the SS's "Final Solution" for the Jews was released, which meant that all Jews in the ghetto were inevitably executed. Of course the Jews themselves knew this too.

On January 19, 1943, when the SS entered the Jewish Quarter to gather a group of Jews to be transported away, they encountered armed resistance from the Jewish fighting organization. The initial effect of the Jewish resistance was obvious. The street fighting lasted for four days. Fifty SS soldiers were killed and many weapons and ammunition were seized. But how could the well-trained and well-armed SS elements give up?

On April 19, 1943, SS leader Himmler launched a special operation to sweep the Jewish ghetto to celebrate Hitler's birthday on April 20. A large number of SS elements surrounded the Jewish Quarter before dawn. At 6 o'clock in the morning, 2,000 SS troops with tanks and rapid artillery entered the central part of the Jewish Quarter. Although there were still 60,000 Jews in the ghetto at that time, their combat effectiveness was obviously not as good as the German army. On May 8, the German army captured the bunker at the headquarters of the Jewish Fighting Organization. The warriors inside committed suicide or each other to avoid being captured.

Since then, the Warsaw Ghetto has been completely destroyed, and all the "surviving" Jews have been sent to death camps. But even in the concentration camps, the Nazi SS tried their best to make the Jews give up their joint resistance before mass murdering them.

For example, the most notorious gas chamber. In order to deceive the Jews, the Nazi SS first made them believe that the gas chambers were actually "bathhouses". In this way, a large number of Jews consciously stripped off their clothes and entered the gas chamber in an orderly manner. What sprayed out from the shower was not water but poisonous gas.

Perry Broder, an SS soldier at Auschwitz, described in detail how to create a harmonious atmosphere for the massacre. He often stood on the roof of the crematorium and said to the Jews below: "You are going to take a bath and disinfect now. We don't want any infectious diseases to appear in the concentration camp. Then you will be taken to your own barracks and someone will give you You bring hot soup. We will arrange work for you on your terms. Now, take off your clothes and place them on the ground in front of you." Then the SS soldier gently encouraged the new prisoners to enter the crematorium. , "While telling jokes or chatting with them." According to Broder, after the door was locked, an SS soldier once shouted through the door: "Don't burn yourself in the shower!"

Just like this in Oss More than one million Jews were gassed in the Weising concentration camp. The author can't help feeling that human beings have been herbivores since ancient times. In the face of death, what they do most is not to join forces to resist, but to obey collectively.
