Check out the website www.jpfo.org. It's a Jewish gun rights website. They make the NRA look liberal. Their premise is based on this incident that if the Jews had been organized and armed, the holocaust wouldn't have happened.

Some 30 years ago, I read Leon Uris' book "Mila 18" about the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, and Jean Francois Steiner's book "Treblinka" about the Treblinka uprising. These are moving accounts of exceptional courage and well worth reading. They're both still in print.

In both uprisings, success depended on access to guns. A lesson well-worth remembering.

Also, "Escape from Sobibor" was a TV film from @ 1990 starring Alan Arkin and Rutger Hauer, still available in some video stores. Same lesson: the Jews secretly attacked guards and stole their rifles, then a small portion of them fired at the guards while permitting the prisoners to flee under the barbed wire.

"Escape from Sobibor" has been broadcast on the History Channel.
