Abstract:
Describes briefly the activities of the Jewish underground resistance movements in the ghettos of Vilna, Kovno, Šiauliai, and Švenčionys. Discusses, as well, the relations of the resistance movements with the Jewish and non-Jewish population, with the nationalist and communist resistance, and with the Jewish Councils. States that, on the one hand, the struggle of the 1,500 Jewish fighters against Nazi oppression can be seen as a failure, but on the other hand it allowed many of them to escape into the forests and also to regain a feeling of dignity and honor.
