Pictures of Resistance: The Wartime Photographs of Jewish Partisan Faye Schulman

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.”

Co-sponsored by the University of Michigan Library and the Frankel Center for Judaic Studies.

This exhibit was produced by the Jewish Partisan Educational Foundation and curated by Jill Vexler, Ph.D. It was made possible by Thomas and Johanna Baruch, the Epstein/Roth Foundation, the Purjes Foundation, the Charles and Lynn Schusterman Family Foundation, the Koret Foudnation, the Taube Foundation for Jewish Life and culture, the Holocaust Council of UJA MetroWest, and Diane and Howard Wohl.
