Ok, but I am _not_ discussing major attempts. I claim 
that _minor_ attempts were done, and that there was 
no possibility to try any major attempt. 
 
Let's imagine that we are living in Czekoslovachia 
[sp?] in 1940, and we wish to save some jews. What 
should we do? Any major attempt would be doomed 
to failure. If I wanted to save them, I had better 
try to save one or two by myself, then try to create 
an organization to save all of them. 
 
It's like terrorism in reverse. Any big terrorist 
plan is doomed to failure. But a plan that uses 
few people may succeed :-(
