How did some Jews manage to

keep their

hope

during those dark times?

Jews celebrated Hanukkah during the Holocaust.

Explanation:

In late 1942, someone stole an enormous block of wood from the Nazis running the camp. Into it, they carved a magnificent hanukkiah-the special menorah lit at Hanukkah-with nine candle holders and a Star of David. For most of the year, the menorah stood concealed. Germans forbid celebrating Jewish holidays or teaching adolescents about Judaism, but once a year, usually in the depths of December, Jews brought it forth.
