ubiq: Nobody opposed resistance or running away after the reality of Auschwitz was known. If you’re referring to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, such resistance was clearly futile and its futility was very foreseeable in advance. Getting Jews killed on the spot by resisting is worse than risking possible death in the future by not resisting. Running away from Aushwitz certainly no one opposed. And resisting as an individual, i.e. fighting an officer trying to arrest you to bring you to Aushwitz, no one opposed either.
