Born in Poland in 1924, Faye Schulman received her first camera from her brother when she was 13. It was that camera which ultimately saved her life, and allowed her to later document Jewish partisan activity. She is the only known Jewish partisan photographer.
Schulman's rare collection of images captures the camaraderie, horror and loss, bravery and triumph of the rag-tag, tough partisan--some Jewish, some not--who fought the Germans and their collaborators.
Pictures of Resistance is produced by the Jewish Partisan Education Foundation, JPEF, the only organization solely focused on developing and distributing innovative educational materials on the Jewish partisans. JPEF's work is currently used and promoted by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the Anti-Defamation League, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Museum of Jewish Heritage, Facing History and Ourselves, and thousands of schools, synagogues and organizations across the country.
