InOBU: Yes, the Warsaw uprising and the resistance in Sobbibar were magnificent but sadly the history of the Nazi persecution of the Jews is an anathema to any civilisation. My point is that the resistance should have started in the 1930s when Hitler was still feeling his way. Too many people believed the fiction of being rehoused and after all for God's sake who would believe that the Government would kill its citizens many of whom had fought in the First World War on the German side and many had been decorated, unlike many of the young Nazi thugs. The Observer of Sunday July 8th has another article on the theme that Western Governments knew fairly early on about the situation. The earliest record I can find about the start of the pogram is in March 1933 when Hitler ordered a boycot of Jews and Jewish shops and the first concentration camp was opened at Dachau. No doubt there were plenty of incidents before then.
