Most of the Jews killed were in countries that had standing armies that fell to the Nazis within days, weeks, and months (or fought to a stalemate in the case of the Soviets for years). Millions of men under arms couldn’t stop the Nazi onslaught, but apparently a few Jews with guns would have prevented the Holocaust before it began.

I don’t mean to undermine the importance of events like the Warsaw Uprising or the partisans who fought behind the lines, but a few Jews with guns would not have turned the tide, not when the Nazis were more than willing to obliterate everything in their path to get rid of Jews.
