Abstract:
Argues that the Greek Jews who organized the Sonderkommando revolt in Birkenau in October 1944 were inspired by the example of the defenders of Masada as represented by Flavius Josephus and by the medieval "Sepher Yosippon", as well as the narratives of the Greek struggle for independence in the 19th century.
