VIRTUAL: The Girl Bandits of the Warsaw Ghetto (Take Two)

with Historian Elizabeth R. Hyman

Holocaust historian Elizabeth Hyman introduces five young, courageous Polish Jewish women who were central to the Jewish resistance as fighters, commanders, couriers, and smugglers.

**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access the Zoom Webinar via email.**  

We had such a wonderful conversation with Elizabeth back in October, we just had to have her back! As we learned, the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising is one of the most storied events of the Holocaust, yet previous accounts of which have almost entirely focused on its male participants. In The Girl Bandits of the Warsaw Ghetto: The True Story of Five Courageous Young Women Who Sparked an Uprising, Holocaust historian Elizabeth Hyman introduces five young, courageous Polish Jewish women—known as “the girls” by the leadership of the resistance and “bandits” by their Nazi oppressors—who were central to the Jewish resistance as fighters, commanders, couriers, and smugglers.

This time, we'll take a deeper dive into our women heroes - what was their motivation, how did they succeed in their endeavors, what was the impact of their work? If you  missed the first session, you can catch it on the Ashland Public Library's YouTube Channel. We can't wait for this second conversation and hope you can join us.
