I heard whispers around me:"We must do something. We can’t let them kill us like that, like cattle in the slaughterhouse. We must revolt."There were, among us, a few tough young men. They actually had knives and were urging us to attack the armed guards. One of them was muttering:"Let the world learn about the existence of Auschwitz. Let everybody find out about it while they still have a chance to escape . . ."But the older men begged their sons not to be foolish:"We mustn’t give up hope, even now as the sword hangs over our heads. So taught our sages . . ."Which of the following best expresses the view of the older men?A fight should not be undertaken without careful planning. A revolt will be risky but must be attempted. Sympathy toward the enemy is a sign of weakness. It is better to wait expectantly for rescue than act rashly.
