Our @yiddishista was excited to see this atypical representation of a female-presenting filmmaker visiting a friend at the Pixar recently—connected to our Fania’s story because people don’t think of women when they think of Jewish partisan fighters. Happy #femalefilmmakerfriday

Film @WhoWillRemain about another former Jewish partisan #Sutzkever directed by two members of our team (Emily Felder @SubatomicEmily & Christa P Whitney @yiddishista ) will be screened at @ofjcc in Palo Alto, CA April 18! Click through to see @WallAlix’s piece in @jewishsf 👏👏

Following #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay , we're revisiting a story of Fania told abt how she & her school friends organized to support their teachers in the #Vilnaghetto. She underscored the importance of knowing such stories of moral resistance. Source: @YiddishStories

We're looking forward to this lecture to learn more about everyday details of lives of #jewishpartisans

“This history is not over,” Jonathan Brent, executive director of the Jewish cultural institute, YIVO, says. cbsn.ws/3E5XjWB

“One of the worst slaughters during the Holocaust. Some 90% to 95% of the Jewish population of Lithuania was murdered brutally, cruelly, sadistically,” YIVO’s Jonathan Brent tells @jon_wertheim. cbsn.ws/3UAAlOn

“These treasures that connected you today with a past of 700 years ago gave you a sense of your own history and the value of it and the importance of it. And the Soviets wanted desperately to destroy that and make you a Soviet citizen,” Jonathan Brent says cbsn.ws/3UQue8z
