small correction to user comments

The user comment is, I think, not quite correct; Sobibor was not the only death camp where there was a revolt. There was alsoone at the Treblinka death camp, also in 1943, and like the Sobibor revolt, sparked by the news of the Warsaw uprising. It's often thought that the victims of the camps went meekly to their fate, so in that sense it's important to remember that in many cases, they fought back, hoping to retreive honour in a place that offered no other options. But to suggest that there was only one revolt -- as earlier, the author of a book on Treblinka, Jean Francois Steiner did -- in other words, that resistance was exceptional, is not true; it sends a message to the future equally as depressing as that sent by the original crime of genocide.

Where can you read about this? Besides Raoul Hillenberg's massive history, there is also Martin Gilbert's "The Holocaust," which is composed almost entirely of first-hand testimony. Gilbert makes it clear that there were many many acts of resistance and rebellion, many of them purely individual, and helpfully lists them in the index to his book under "Resistance", "Courage," and "Defiance." On the individual level, resistance was fairly constant; organized revolts like Sobibor and Treblinka, were rarer.
