I sat in a movie theater watching "Schindlers' List," and asked myself, "why didn't the Jews fight back?" Apparently Mr. Evans failed world history. The Jews at that time did not fight back because they were not armed, as the Nazis were.
If they were, however, the Holocaust, as we know it, may never have happened.
I am aware of that fact as I am sure was the author. I suppose that using "Schindlers List" was merely poetic licence in keeping with his 'movie theater' device to tie the the essay together with a theme.
