Pictures of Resistance: The Wartime Photographs of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman October 2, 2011

This exhibit is on display through November 27th in the Hatcher Graduate Library Gallery. Free and open to the public.

The lives of WWII partisans depended on their ability to remain unseen, undocumented and unidentifiable. But one fighter, Faye Schulman, had a camera. Schulman’s rare collection of images captures the camaraderie, horror and loss, bravery and triumph of the rag-tag, tough partisans—some Jewish, some not—who fought the Germans and their collaborators.

Schulman, the only known Jewish partisan photographer, says of the exhibit, “I want people to know that there was resistance. Jews did not go like sheep to the slaughter. I was a photographer. I have pictures. I have proof.”
