While facing overwhelming odds and risking their lives, individuals from all walks of life fought Nazi terror and helped rescue those in danger. This included thousands of Jewish and non-Jewish partisans, who were armed resistance fighters deployed across occupied Europe. Below we share stories of Jewish partisans who sabotaged Germans and their Axis partners.   Behind Faye Schulman’s Lens: “I Want People to Know There Was Resistance.” Learn photographer’s story >>   Three Bielski Brothers Hid, Fought, and Rescued from the Naliboki Forest Listen to the podcast >>   She Joined Partisans in Occupied Yugoslavia, Helped Liberate Prisoners View her medals >>   “A Scene of Robin Hood”: A Young Woman’s Warm Welcome from Fighters Watch her interview >>   Teen in Italy Used His German Fluency to Interrogate Captured Soldiers Learn his story >>   Saved by a Jewish Partisan, Placed with Catholic Family Read his reflection >>   Images: Resistance fighter Faye Schulman holds her nephew, Schelemale, circa 1936–39.
