Resistance

I am in the middle of Nechama Tec's Resistance: Jews and Christians Who Defied the Nazi Terror (Oxford, 2013), which I obtained at the 22nd Annual Conference of the WHA.

The book is eminently readable, has an at once simple and incredibly complex thesis (that those who resisted did so through cooperation with others), and presents accessible examples and explanations of those examples.  An undergraduate audience, I believe, was intended and I will add it to the list of books from which students may choose to do a book review for my History of the Holocaust course.  It seamlessly complements the structure of the course, which is divided into three main sections: one on survivors, one on perpetrators, and one on bystanders and everyone else.
