I am not sure that they didn't _try_, because we wouldn't know about it: a failure would mean death for all of them.
I've read stories of Netherlanders that tried to hid some jews in their house. They were eventually caught, and all of them ended up in a death camp. Alberto Monteiro Me: We would absolutely know about any major attempts, successes or failures, for two reasons. First, because every European government has made a point of researching and trumpeting efforts to resist the Nazis, and second, because the Nazis kept records of _everything_. They videotaped the concentration camps - they weren't ashamed of what they were doing. So any such attempt, even one that was stopped, would have been well documented by the Germans, even if no one else survived to record it. Gautam
