Category:Jewish resistance fighters
The following is an archived discussion concerning one or more categories. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on an appropriate discussion page (such as the category's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this section.
Nominator's rationale: Currently, there is no distinction made between armed and nonviolent resistance. The
Jewish resistance article states, "According to historical scholar Yehuda Bauer, Jewish resistance was defined as actions that were taken against all laws and actions acted by Germans". The vast majority of people involved in resistance by that definition did not bear arms and were therefore not "fighters". Furthermore, the Nazis themselves defined Jews as dangerous and violent in order to justify their extermination. A good example is
Masha Bruskina, previously listed in this category, a seventeen-year-old Jewish girl engaged in nonviolent resistance. Before the Germans executed her, they forced her to parade through the streets with a sign saying that she was a partisan who shot German soldiers. I propose a main category
Category:Jewish resistance members (currently redirects to
Category:Jewish resistance fighters) with the following subcats:
Category:Jewish partisans,
Category:Participants in ghetto uprisings, and
Category:Jews in nonviolent resistance.
Catrìona (
talk) 05:33, 10 August 2018 (UTC)reply
That is not sufficient, because the phrase "resistance fighters" is used only three times in Wikipedia categories, probably because of its POV connotations. I guess it would be simpler to rename the category to
Category:Jewish resistance members, and subcats could be created from there. I've clarified the nomination to reflect that.
Catrìona (
talk) 20:46, 10 August 2018 (UTC)reply
That makes it much clearer indeed. Support rename to "members" per nom. In fact, with this rename, we even no longer need a separate nonviolent subcategory.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 06:44, 11 August 2018 (UTC)reply
Support this too. That is a second vote by one editor, but it is meant to be a complimentary vote. No preference for either of the two alternatives.
Marcocapelle (
talk) 06:44, 11 August 2018 (UTC)reply
Oppose The word "resistance" mostly implies armed or otherwise violent resistance, and on first glance, most members of this category indeed fall in that group. If renamed, I'd say "against Nazi Germany" e.g., but not "WWII", because some of the resistance predated the war.
Debresser (
talk) 18:34, 12 August 2018 (UTC)reply
Comment: as stated in the nom, most recent definitions of Jewish resistance during the Holocaust include nonviolent resistance. I think that the current name of the category is preventing more people like
Emanuel Ringelblum,
Alfred Wetzler, or
Fredy Hirsch from being added. Once the move is carried out I plan to add subcats for various types of armed and nonviolent resistance.
