Over 25,000 Jewish partisans fought back against the Nazis and their collaborators from deep within the forests of WWII’s Eastern Europe, Ukraine and Belarus. Against extraordinary odds, they escaped Nazi slaughter, transforming from young innocents to courageous resistance fighters. Shattering the myth of Jewish passivity, these last surviving partisans tell their stories of resistance, revealing a stunning narrative of heroism and resilience. The film will be followed by a talkback with Ruth Bielski and Jay Sterns, who will discuss their parents' experiences as partisans and Jewish resistance. PLEASE PURCHASE TICKETS VIA PARAGON THEATER
