"In reality they had no organization of their own at all, not even an .
If they had had some sort of organization, these people could have .
been saved by the millions, but instead they were taken completely by surprise." (Raul .
Hilberg, history text 1001, past into present pg110).
These are the words of Raul Hilberg, a man who believed that the Jews lacked .
perseverence, because their resistence towards the Nazis's power was limited, .
ineffective and the very few that were oriented towards resistence, would bear the .
racial punishment because of their fear of the Nazi's, and the lack of faith they had in .
themselves. The Jews soon began to believe that if they wanted to survive, they must .
avoid any form of resistence.
Hilberg points out that the Jews would do anything to stay alive, even if it meant serving .
the Germans every need, because they believed that their deliverance would come.
.
One could almost say that Raul Hilberg made it seem like the Jewish community did not .
want to stand up for themselves, that they were completely oblivious to what was going .
on around them. The Jewish councils for example, Hilberg makes them seem like they .
are being selfish and only trying to save themselves. Like they are fulfilling the Germans .
every need and making their job easier because the Jews believe that if they do so, .
their lives will be spared. .
Robert Wistrich on the other hand knew that the Jewish community had done .
everything that they were capable of doing, he reveals a better prospective of what the .
Jews really tried to do for themselves, and most important their fellow people.
Wistrich focuses on the Jewish councils and the roles they played for the Germans. He .
does not focus on what the Jews did for the Germans, he focuses on what the councils .
did to try and help their people.
"Though polish Jewry outwardly lay crushed and broken amid the terrible suffering .
inflicted upon it by its Nazi conquerors, most Jews had not lost their vibrant will to live, .
