Humanities Assignment 2 - No Escape?

The prisoners of the Holocaust were not known to revolt against their captors. Even when they became aware of their probable fate, they did not gather together to start a revolution or try to escape.

What do you believe was their reasoning?

The prisoners of the Holocaust never revolted because they had hope. The soldiers and higher power leaders used to gas their minds and say "someday you'll get out of here." When in reality they would lie to them and make then believe they'll actually get out of the camp's. The prisoners would be separated from their close ones and never see them again because they would get killed at other camps. I believe that if they would of revolted they would of beat the Nazis. The Nazis couldn't possibly revolt against millions of people at once.
