Resistance issue

[edit]

I've removed the text added in November (diff) that said Mordowicz "did not attempt to resist arrest" when taken back to Auschwitz. Left unexplained, this had the potential to cause confusion in a short stub, especially given that Mordowicz has nothing to do with the Conway issue.

In any event, he said he did resist, or rather that he was under guard day and night and was able to resist once on the train. He tried to persuade other passengers to jump off, for which he was badly beaten. The source added in November (Fatran 1994, p. 186) says: "when the escapee was captured in the autumn of 1944, he offered no resistance when hustled onto the train that returned him to Auschwitz." No source is cited, which raises the question of how Fatran knew this. Is there an earlier source that discusses it? SarahSV (talk) 04:33, 23 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
