No two events are ever the same and we can't possibly know what would have happened if the #Sobibór uprising would have been more "successful" or if the underlying situations would have been more "similar". The larger truth that people will resort to (even unreasonable) #violence under the ultimate pressure of possible #annihilation or perpetual #enslavement still sticks and is therefore a valid point to make (in our humble opinion).
