 From: Danny Schoemann <doniels at gmail.com> Subject: [Avodah] Rambam Yomi - Mesiras Nefesh  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 Jewishpractice. What justification did they use in the concentration camps and ghettos todo forced labor on Shabbos? (Or to eat chometz on Pessach.) There has to be a simple answer since it was the accepted practice. - Danny
  >>>>>The Nazis were not trying to get the Jews to give up their religion, like the Spanish Inquisition.  Their goal was not to eradicate JUDAISM and convert the Jews to some other religion.  Their goal was to eradicate the JEWS.  They just wanted Jews dead. So it was a mitzva for Jews to do their best to deny the Nazis the fulfillment of that goal.  A mitzva to do everything possible to stay alive.
