The Evolution of Armed Resistance

Season 1 | 2m 54s

When the Nazi war against the Jews began, few Jewish people understood that the German’s ultimate goal was the extermination of all the Jews of Europe. One of the first to understand that was the young resistance fighter (later poet laureate of Israel) Abba Kovner. At the beginning of 1942, Kovner wrote a Manifesto, the first published call for Jews to fight back.
