Overview
These video testimonies, interview transcripts, and primary source documents provide a window into the lives of the Jewish partisans—the women and men who fought in organized resistance groups across Europe during World War II.
Students are encouraged to use the resources here and on the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation website to curate a museum exhibition dedicated to the Jewish partisans. See our lesson Creating Student Projects to implement this project-based learning activity in your classroom. Once students are assigned a partisan, they can begin exploring!
