Fighting back against the NazisJews didn't fight back till very late. The best known instances are the uprising of the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943 (not to be confused with the much larger Warsaw Uprising of 1944), rebellions at some extermination camps and resistance in some parts of Belarus. Despite this, there is a widespread view that the Jews were in some sense too passive, though it's far from clear what they could actually have done. The Jews - a small, largely unarmed and unorganized minority, stood no chance at all of defeating the Nazis.
In general, the Jews found it practically impossible to 'fight back' in countries where they were well integrated, like Germany and Hungary.
In many of the occupied countries, like Poland, France, Norway and much of Yugoslavia, there were active resistance movements against the Nazis. These didn't come into being at once, either.
