What is the best course of action for the people on the receiving end of a mass genocide?

I am having trouble pinning down what the best course of action would be for a group of people that have been marked for death by a hostile force if they are vastly outnumbered and outgunned.<br><br>I am particularly interested in the case of the Jewish resistance (or lack thereof) to the Nazi genocide of Jews in WWII. I have never heard an explanation for why the Jewish population did not more heavily resist the Nazis in en masse. I have read that the Jewish people were generally encouraged by their faith to not resist. That being said, Nazi atrocities on mass were well known, and the Nazis were clearly not acting with Jewish interests at heart.<br><br>I have never read a mainstream article that examined the Nazi genocide with any critical eye on the Jewish people. Is there a larger cultural campaign to not investigate this? Is the legislature of any country heavily enforcing this silence?
