In the face of extraordinary obstacles, Jews responded actively to changing circumstances during the Holocaust. They acted individually and collectively to defy Nazism in ghettos, slave labour and concentration camps, partisan groups, and in the arena of daily life. Drawing on artefacts and testimonies of survivors who settled in Canada after the war, In Defiance speaks to the diversity of Jewish responses to the Holocaust. These remarkable stories reflect Jewish efforts to maintain their humanity, preserve their past, sabotage Nazi war efforts, document unimaginable events and save lives.
