Resistance in the Holocaust It was difficult to resist oppression during the Holocaust, but some people did, both actively and passively. Active resistance is physically arming yourself to fight for something you believe in. However, many opted for passivity to fight Nazi ineffable cruelty and injustice more discreetly. In “The Diary of Anne Frank”, “Violins of Hope”, and “Resistance during the Holocaust” we read about various acts of passive resistance. People can best respond to conflict by passively resisting because such acts maintain human dignity, preserve cultures, and give the best chance at survival.

4th grade was the first time I read “The Diary of a Young Girl.” Even as a ten-year-old without much exposure to world history, and U.S. history beyond its most basic level, I empathized with a young girl not much older than I who, as a result of persecution, had to go into hiding or would otherwise face death. In eighth grade, I read the play adaptation of this diary in my English class, and we were told to write an essay on this question: “If you were in the place of those in hiding, what would you miss most?” For some reason, this question has stuck with me throughout the years.
