Mintz on Tuesday, April 09, 2024, 7:00 p.m. Auditorium, 53 Wall St. (first floor) New Haven, CT 06511 Free and open to the public “All I owned was my camera, a leopard coat, and a grenade in case of capture…the pillow was the rifle, the walls were the trees and the sky was the roof,” says partisan Faye Schulman. Over 25,000 Jewish partisans fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of Eastern Europe, Ukraine, and Belarus during the Second World War. Against extraordinary odds, they escaped Nazi slaughter, transforming from young innocents to courageous resistance fighters. These last surviving partisans tell their stories of resistance in this film, revealing a narrative of resilience.
