Allies of the Weak: La Résistance and Jews in the Holocaust Allies of the Weak: La Résistance and Jews in the Holocaust By Kasia Nalewajko, Collegio Carlo Alberto Do insurgents help or hinder survival of the targets of genocide? A common view in political science holds that insurgents’ presence attracts state violence against civilians. In contrast to this, I use multiple archival collections on WWI and WWII military personnel, Holocaust victims’ records, and testimonies of survivors and rescuers to show that insurgent presence in fact decreased local numbers of Holocaust victims. https://politicalsciencenow.com/allies-of-the-weak-la-resistance-and-jews-in-the-holocaust/
