Freedom and death: the Jews and the Greek 'Andartiko'

The author, in examining the Sonderkommando revolt in Auschwitz-Birkenau, argues that the Greek Jews leading the failed revolt perhaps did so under the shadow of Flavius Josephus himself, or at least medieval readings of Josephus, as well as 19th century Greek lore, internalized by Greece's Jews, that emphasized a fight to the death. He suggests that the Greek Jewish Birkenau revolt might one day, at least in a literary sense, take its place amid the Jewish canon of the Holocaust.
