Jewish leadership in WWII

Jewish leadership during WWII involved coordinated efforts by community leaders—such as rabbis, activists, and organization heads—to organize resistance, provide aid, and preserve Jewish culture amid persecution. They coordinated clandestine efforts like hiding people, smuggling refugees, and maintaining cultural and religious practices under Nazi oppression. Despite limited resources and constant danger, these leaders played a crucial role in fostering resilience, raising awareness, and assisting victims, often risking their lives to oppose the Holocaust and support their communities’ survival.
