The death penalty was sometimes enforced on people hiding them, especially in eastern Europe. Jews in hiding were hunted down with the assistance of local collaborators and rewards offered for their denunciation. Having money, social connections with non-Jews, a non-Jewish appearance, perfect command of the local language, determination, and luck played a major role in determining survival.
Those in hiding depended on the assistance of non-Jews. The support, or at least absence of active opposition, of the local population was essential to Jews attempting to hide but often lacking in Eastern Europe. Help offered to Jews to escape the Holocaustĭuring World War II, some individuals and groups helped Jews and others escape the Holocaust conducted by Nazi Germany.
