We're up to Yesodei HaTorah Ch. 5.

You have to give up your life rather than transgress if:

If the goy's intent is to make you transgress any Mitzva and it's public
(in front of 10 Yidden).

If it's a time if evil decree to eradicate Judaism or a specific Jewish
practice.

What justification did they use in the concentration camps and ghettos to
do forced labor on Shabbos? (Or to eat chometz on Pessach.)

There has to be a simple answer since it was the accepted practice.
