Abstract

When speaking about Jews, the tendency is to regard them as oppressed victims, closely cramped in trains taking them to the death camps. They are not perceived as fearless heroes, nor brave leaders or commanders. This article reveals new points of view of the ‘other’ Jew and tries to give a reflexive check on what we really know about this issue: simultaneously to the extermination of six million Jews during World War Two, about a million and a half Jews enlisted and volunteered in all the Allied armies.
