(2,720 posts)catbyte: You probably have passed around that dumbass meme that if the Polish Jews had been armed, then Hitler wouldn't have sent them to the ovens.
straw man: Read here about 1200 Jews who survived the Holocaust because armed men and women resisted. Is that a "dumbass meme"?
Well aware millions of european Jewish survived wwII; Lots more jewish survived the holocaust predominantly without guns, than with them. Your point is specious to the contention catbyte made.
At the time of liberation, the Bielski group had reached its peak of 1,230 people. More than 70 percent were women, elderly persons, and children, who otherwise would have perished under the German occupation.
european jewish before final solution.... 8,861,800
european jewish killed in final solution.. 5,933,900 - 67% killed
Ergo surviving jewish after final solution had begun, approx 3 million

.. 1933, approximately 9.5 million Jews lived in Europe.. https://www.ushmm.org/wlc/en/article.php?ModuleId=10005161
Approx 3 to 3.5 million european jews survived the holocaust, I believe most of them in russia, or some lesser in france & italy (an early safe haven for jews till rome surrendered, a rare commendable attribute to el duce benito).
