Resisting Nazism is a poignant, powerful and personal portrait of diverse ways in which people resisted Nazism during the Holocaust and in its aftermath. Many ways of resisting are depicted in this moving work, which has a special meaning in our time when non-violent resistance to authoritarian rule may well determine much of the future. I think that each reader can find in these portraits a model of a person to emulate, someone who challenges our complacency and shows us how we should act, how we must act!

Each chapter [of Resisting Nazism] tells a story succinctly and with a sense of immediacy and drama [...] Several of Berryman's sketches will leave the reader gasping with emotion [...] None will leave you unmoved.

Resistance comes in many forms, especially when the trigger is Nazism. A stroke of the pen, a searing speech, an outreached hand can do more to fight back than a shower of bullets. In “Resisting Nazism,” Luke Berryman presents extraordinary stories of such resistance, meanwhile giving lie to one of the most pernicious myths of all: that Jews didn't resist during the Holocaust. The battle against Nazism continues, of course, and Berryman's book itself represents a potent form of resistance.

Resisting Nazism by Luke Berryman should serve as a central text in teaching the Holocaust and enlightening readers about how Nazism has been thoughtfully confronted. The book is comprised of a discerning selection of texts toward the aim of understanding challenges to Hitler and his legacy of tyranny and genocide—which is more timely than ever.

This book is a tribute to those who have and are resisting the Nazi movement. Knowing history is essential and this is a reminder that it is not only the great acts of defiance that shape our future, but the small, everyday choices we make to stand against hate.

The accessible text brings together material on Nazi resistance in an eye-opening, powerful, and groundbreaking manner, allowing readers to ponder the connections between past and present. In these contentious times, this book illuminates our personal responsibility to become informed and resist propaganda and hatred prevalent today.

In Resisting Nazism, Luke Berryman introduces us to ordinary people who became extraordinary resisters. By grounding us in the humanity of those who defied Nazism, he reminds us that resistance — spiritual, physical, and political — is both possible and necessary, even when we feel powerless to effect change. This book offers not only a record of the past but a blueprint for dignity and courage today.
