The term amidah or Jewish resistance during the Holocaust has been controversial since its inception. Should it be limited to armed or at least active and collective operations, or should it include spiritual and moral responses? In his 1968 paper ‘The day-to-day stand of the Jews,’ Meir Dworzecki argued for the wider definition, and a similar approach is evident in Ka-Tzetnik’s Salamandra novels. This study employs Dworzecki’s perspective as a key for a close analysis of Ka-Tzetnik’s literary testimony. Read in tandem, these writers–survivors enrich our understanding of Jewish response and of the dynamics of early Israeli Holocaust discourse
