Allan Zullo's book "We Fought Back: Teen Resisters of the Holocaust" consists of stories depicting acts of resistance against the Nazis by seven young Jewish people during the Holocaust. Many Jewish people were unable to take up arms and resist the Nazis because they were so suddenly rounded up and sent to concentration camps. However, some Jewish people, especially younger people, were able to escape from their hiding places or ghettos or concentration camps to participate in acts of resistance. These teenagers joined groups of Nazi resisters called partisans, whose methods included guerilla warfare and acts of sabotage against the Nazis. The stories in the book are all based on real personal interviews with seven people who joined the partisans and resisted the Nazis as teenagers.
