I just watched an interesting segment from Claude Lanzmanns 1980s documentary "Shoah".

https://youtu.be/Qn0nxrOp2Og

In it, he interviews Polish villagers who lived close to the death camps, most of them were eyewitnesses who saw with their own eyes what was happening there. One villager explains that the Jews, after getting off the trains, basically pushed their way into Auschwitz themselves because back in the ghettos other Jews had promised them good conditions: warm housing, light work, and so on. They werent interested in escaping at all. Quite a few of the Jews spoke Polish and would casually walk up to the villagers fences asking for water. The Poles would give them water from their wells, and in return some of the Jews would hand over money. The villager says that overall it wasnt guarded all that tightly, and that they (the Poles) repeatedly offered these Jews the chance to escape through their yards at night. But the Jews always refused, on top of everything else, the Germans were promising them a nice warm shower right after arriving in those uncomfortable cattle cars.

The villager also described a situation where one Jew deliberately provoked a Ukrainian guard into an aggressive reaction. He yelled at him, "Shoot, you simpleton, come on!". So the Ukrainian didnt hesitate and shot him in the head. In response to that, Lanzmann asks the Polish villager whether he thinks that was an act of courage or cowardice. The villager replies that all Jews were cowards who were afraid of pain and death, including this desperate one. If he had really been brave, he would have rushed the Ukrainian, tried to grab his weapon, and escaped. xD
