Short Answer
1. What do you know of the German invasion of Poland in 1939? What significance did this event have for the world at large?
Teaching Suggestion: Resistance is set in the historical context of World War II and specifically in Nazi-occupied Poland; the novel mentions the blitzkrieg of Warsaw as a significant event that sets the rest of the story in motion. Considering that the invasion of Poland launched WWII, it may be helpful to have students read about this event and discuss its significance on the world stage, as well as to the book’s particular historical and geographical contexts.
2. What do you know of the Jewish people’s responses to Nazi atrocities and cruelties during WWII?
