The idea that if only the holocaust victims were armed, that the holocaust would have been lessened in some manner is both offensive and ridiculous. It's been long debunked by historians.
There's this magical idea that if only the jews had guns, they could've done what the Soviet army struggled to do, without the military training and tanks. There were uprisings -- and they were largely failures. Take for instance the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, which was a massive failure. Many of those who weren't disarmed and participated in the uprising died -- either in battle, or sent to death camps. In extraordinarily high numbers, while the German Casualties were quite low.
To think that a group of untrained individuals with pistols could have stopped what the Soviet Army could not is quite ludicrous.
