Alcide NITRYK a écrit:Parfois, il est dit que les Juifs pendant l'Holocauste sont allés dans les camps comme des moutons à l'abattoir. Apparemment, les Allemands ne rencontrèrent aucune résistance, ce qui est la preuve qu'ils avaient affaire à des lâches. Ce n’est pas vrai! Dans les différentes armées du monde se sont battus - selon les calculs prof. Israël Gutman - plus d'un million de soldats juifs.
- 80.000 dans l'Armée rouge,
- 140.000 dans l'armée américaine,
- 80 000 dans l'armée polonaise,
- 80.000 dans l'armée britannique.
Un total qui fait difficilement 1 million! En fait le site yadvashem.org donne des chiffres assez différents:
http://www.yadvashem.org/yv/en/holocaust/about/07/jewish_soldiers.asp"Approximately
1.5 million Jews fought in the regular Allied armies. In many cases the percentage of Jews fighting was greater than the percentage of Jews in the population.
About
500,000 Jewish soldiers fought in the Red Army during World War II. Some 120,000 were killed in combat and in the line of duty; the Germans murdered 80,000 as prisoners of war. More than 160,000, at all levels of command, earned citations, with over 150 designated “Heroes of the Soviet Union”— the highest honor awarded to soldiers in the Red Army.
Approximately
550,000 Jewish soldiers fought in the US Armed Forces during World War II. They served on all fronts in Europe and in the Pacific. Some 10,000 were killed in combat, and more than 36,000 received citations. Many Jewish soldiers took part in liberating the camps.
Approximately
100,000 Jews fought in the Polish army against the German invasion. They made up 10% of the Polish army, commensurate with the percentage of Jews within the general population. Approximately 30,000 Jews fell in battle, were taken captive by the Germans, or declared missing during the battles defending Poland, 11,000 in the defense of Warsaw. Thousands of Jews later served in various Polish armies fighting against the Germans in the Allied Forces.
About
30,000 Jews served in the British army in 1939-1946, some in special units of Jews from Palestine, such as the Jewish Brigade. "
Les chiffres de l'US army me paraissent assez considérables.
